What the heck is a trebuchet?

dawsongirl · 01-22-2003, 10:25 PM

Oh...okay...like a catapult. There's a website-

www.trebuchets.com

maybe there's something there.

Ugh, I read the page, but meangya, I still dont understand LOl

Well, this is just a total guess, but I would think catapults (assuming trebucets are the same thing) fell out of favor simply because better, more powerful, and certainly more accurate weapons were built. Why on earth would you attempt to launch an unweidly boulder at your enemy when you could simply load a teensy tiny bullet in your gun and shoot them in the face?

If you are having trouble finding specific information on trebucets I would recommend broadening your search to medieval weaponry or weaponry in general.

Last nite i was sposed to write a gay essay about why playing sports makes u a better person. I typed it on my laptop which has microsoft works insteada microsoft word and i was too lazy to put it on the other computer and print it out, so i saved it to a disk and brot it to school today, and i opened it in microsoft word and insteada the essay there was codes and junk. my teacher told me to type it again. So i spent the whole time in language arts typing it [cuz i was goofin off and makin fun of avril and her songs hehe] and i saved it alot but when i told the computer to print but the damn thing froze...so i resetted it and went to the page it was BLANK. I was really pissed off so i started typing it again but the teachers said that all the 8th graders that didnt help w/ the 8th grade fundraiser had to clean the kitchen or else we cant go on the 8th grade trip [wtf ever] so i pretended to wipe off a table and i went back to type my essay but my teacher didnt let me type it til school was almost out and that made me rush. so it sucked ass today. at least its the end of the week for me.
