Sept 6, 2009: Trebuchet
Not the huge medieval machine that throws boulders and cows at the castle.
One of them would cost a fortune, take forever to build, and would attract the cops/Homeland Security to your door before you had it half built. No, here we have a trebuchet that you can build for free and it's easy to hide. As a matter of fact, you might be able to get paid to build it. Quote:

I cannot help but notice that there are no social events marked on his calendar. And he fires peanuts at co-workers with his homemade catapult.
Think those 2 sentences are related? |

it will have a greater range if he fashions some sort of wheels. Maybe the bottoms from coffee cups, or CD-Rs that didn't burn properly. They need to rock back and forth as the sling lets go for maximum distance.

Oh, I wish we had pencils at work.
Well, we do, but we only give the crazy people minigolf pencils. Really. Like they can't stab my eye out with a three inch pencil.

I was thinking more along the lines of the ones I have seen on TV where they built full scale models. You would have to put it on a platform to breech the partition and hit the guy a few booths over. Sounds like fun. Launch a few peanuts and start a war in the office. It would at least provided job security for the janitor.

Spitballs, I say. Spitballs. That way you could more accurately judge the accuracy of the weapon.
