Catching Monkeys!
Make a small hole, empty it out, put in a banana. Monkey grabs banana but can't get hand out. Won't let go.
Instant Monkey!

After which I assume you use the monkey as a catapult test payload? {sick, evil grin}

I prefer catapult testing with lawyers: fewer PETA demonstrators and much more applause.

Just because it's been done by Monty Python doesn't mean it's the only thing to fling (It's a link to the catapult Chris used on Northern Exposure).

"Catapult" is a general term that covers many types of mideval seige weapons, including trebs, managols, and onagers.

I was really expecting an option related to patch pumpkins
UPDATE: I have realised that „Task ownership baton“ is refering exactly to the patch pumpkin. That's a pretty complicated wording for me, who is not a native English speaker ;-)

Huh. I didn't even see that in the list until you pointed it out. My first thought was for a patch pumpkin as well, but my eyes were almost immediately drawn to the catapult test payload...

And all this time I thought pumpkins were grown for pumpkin seeds. But that has me wondering which came first, the pumpkin or the seed? Or even "why did the pumpkin cross the road?" (I think it was to avoid being a catapult payload)

Thanks for the heads up. I was considering buying a bunch of this, just in case I liked it. I will, however, proceed with caution.

Mmm...pumpkin beer...I am not normally a fan of spiced beers, but the pumpkin variety is goodly.
I can also recommend, if you can find one, a maple nut brown ale. Very, very tasty.

I went for the pie filling but was very tempted to say "catapult test payload" (Who are we firing them at anyway? :-)
| [reply] |
|

I went for the catapult test payload although I was tempted to choose "task ownership batons" (we used to call them "tarbabies"). I would assume since it's just testing that we'll fire them in some neutral direction.. Heh. The definition of neutral can be left to the next poll.

I use pumpkins as targets for my various throwing weapons (which are tomahawk, various knives, and throwing stars), but I voted for pie 'cause pie is good.

Early November polls!
It's about time to launch a Christmas poll, such as:
What would you like to get for Christmas?
- A RAM expansion
- A bigger HD
- A faster CPU
- More CPUs
- A better programming language
- Better understanding of existing programming languages
- Better understanding from my wife
- More Artificial Intelligence, so the computer can do what I really want
- More Natural Intelligence, so I can explain myself better.
- Other.
Stop the pumpkins campaign now!

I take a pumpkin pie recipe, subtract the eggs, milk, and sugar, then enough ingredients to make 2 pies, add 15 pounds of honey and about 4.5 gallons of water. Ferment for 9 months, bottle, let sit for 6mo. to a year. Enjoy! *hic* | [reply] |

The Smashing Pumpkins !!!
“Machina: The Machines of God”
“only love
only love can win
so cry these tears, we'll cry as all
we've held so long to fall apart
as the curtain falls we bid you all goodnight”
“Apenas o amor
Somente o amor poderá vencer
Então chore essa dor, choraremos como todos
Fomos tão longe para nos separarmos
Ao cair das cortinas desejamos a todos vocês boa noite”.
