Re: The Ants – Flake – Proof also means Air – Proof. Therefore DEAD ants by New Years. “Pest Problem” ELIMINATED!!!

Re: Cavemen – Well let’s HOPE the “recipients” of said gifts like their fine China in itty bitty little pieces. The GOOD news IS, it will mean a NASTY but well deserved surprise for the “Porch Pirates!”

This does not even make sense. Try again boys

Although it IS a catapult, his device is actually a type of catapult called a trebuchet since it uses a counter weight.
