There are desktop-size trebuchets available in kit form. Simple assembly, even for <10yo with just a bit of supervision.

It made me the coolest uncle for a week or so.

I don't know if he was referencing it, but I recall the episode ending with them chucking a kitchen appliance with it.

Wow, whomever owns the rights to NE is a scrooge. If I want to watch, I have to buy. Seems there's some issue with the soundtracks too.

Yep, even if you buy the episodes on DVD, they don't have a lot of the music the show had. I'm sure it has something to do with money, but it was never resolved.

Awesome. Does he put it on is resume'?

Asking because I'd say something such as
'Counterweight Weapons Specialist'
& I'd never take it off. -lol

If you've ever been a baseball pitcher, can't you claim to be a "human trebuchet"?
