I have accepted an engineering challenge. Being a software geek, this may have been a bad idea. <\/p>\n
There’s a strip club across the river. It’s an eyesore. Two stories tall, bright pink. Named “Cheaters.” I wish to strike at the heart of the evil…or at least at its most visible wart. We will attack with frozen chickens.<\/p>\n
I will build a siege engine. A trebuchet. Said machine will be capable of flinging a seven pound payload the half mile required to strike from across the river. The light, flexible design will allow us to assemble, attack, strike, and flee before law enforcement arrives.<\/p>\n
My karate instructor assures me that he can construct a potato gun which will outperform my chicken engine. The penalty for failure will be extreme. I will be shot with the potato gun. My reward for success will be the use of his minions in my attack. Our test will take place on a local football field. If I can’t outperform him there, I will never clear the river.<\/p>\n
