Heres a link to the cannon, it shoots those gords to hell and gone. http://www.motherearthrecycling.net/pumpkin/pumpkin.htm Very nice! Last I heard I the Aludium Q-36 Pumpkin Modulator was the record holder, firing a pumpkin more than 4400 feet. Yes, nearly a statute mile! That was back in 1998. I wonder if they've passed the mile mark yet. Someone may one day beat that record, but they'll *never* beat that name! |

I hope someone is paying Marvin the Martian the proper royalties Gunner "Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules. Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner |
