Tod Cutler built a trebuchet!

It's a trebuchet. He's chucking pumpkins. Need I say more?

Pity that the Mythbusters "Punkin Chukin'" went the way of the dodo.

The event that the Mythbusters Build Crew covered was in Delaware, if I remember correctly.

We built one with the cub scouts a few years ago, but nothing like this. We were able to get it to throw pumpkins filled with a flaming roll of toilet paper roughly 100ft. I also liked the championship chunking contest on TV over the last few years. These people make things that would actually destroy a castle.

What, you think these people build such a device, and only show it in one place? The Delaware event itself has moved to Illinois, but there's Chunkin' all over the place in October.
