I was going to say... how is this even close to world record, this isn't remotely the size of full size medieval trebs.

[silentplummet]

All in a day's work. 4 guys head out to a field, build a gigantic medieval siege weapon, launch a rock 244 meters and grab a beer.

This is what my life should be like, but isn't.
