Does a sling get STR bonus to damage?

[Kip the Bold]

Simple question: Does a sling get STR bonus to damage? I couldn't seem to find in the PHB if it counts as a thrown or a projectile weapon. Thanks!

And if you could give me a page number in the PHB or where in the SRD it says this I'd appreciate it

PH p.8, under Strength: "A penalty, but not a bonus, applies to attacks made with a bow or a sling."

Do I see this correctly? Four threads on one page asking the same question????? ARGH!

That's the main reason I answered. I was just glancing at the forum before I went to work, and noticed that a) the top item was posted about a minute before, b) I knew just where it was in the PHB, and c) my PHB was at hand. "Ooh," I thought, "I can post the world's fastest answer!"
