Must have been the forerunner of the lawn dart !

or a copy of our local klan initiation, where their leader shot his gun straight up an put several in the hospital; Yep idiots need guns for home protection and initiation rites!

What goes up, usually comes back down.

you don’t see many self-inflicted slingshot wounds these days

Only time I’ve seen a catapult was as a kid There was we hard man going around threatening other kids with it. Took aim at one and the stone smashed into the thumb holding the catapult. Never saw it again. True karma.

One learns by doing. Or, in this case, by doing badly.

Ancient China invented paper about 105 AD and may still have an untold number of ancient writings that could have discoveries written down long before European scholars/scientists thought to publish them. 300 years later, the Chinese secret to making paper traveled to the region that is now the Middle East, but early civilizations had a nasty habit of burning libraries of other cultures, so who knows what was lost. Then, it took another 500 years for papermaking to enter Europe. It boggles the mind that it took Newton until 1687 to publish his law of universal gravitation.

When we were kids we would have contests to see who could shoot their arrow the highest. Guess what direction we shot our arrows.

Please do not point slingshot at yourself.

This important safety tip brought to you by the NRA (Neanderthals with Rocks Association).

Don’t try this with a boomerang.

I remember shooting stones straight up in the air using my slingshot as a kid! We used to watch the stones while they came down and yell to alert any unintended targets on the field. Boy was it fun!! Man I miss the ’90s!

As Einstein first observed, for every stupid action there is an equal and opposite stupid action, as has just been proven buy this comic. Einstein would go on to refine his theory of relativity, into a working, politically correct theory, there by sparing the feelings of stupid people everywhere.

This was followed by the invention of the phrase. “Hold my beer.”

“As the Good Book says, ‘If you spit in the air, it lands in your face.’”

Gift them to the animals you’re hunting… ☺

Those idiots that shoot their guns in the air. Guess what those bullets come back down. People have been hit by this dumb practice.

The same goes for guns.

Two with one stone!!!!!!

Together they have discovered the concept of “straight up.”

Back in the 70’s I played a computer game on the teletype terminals that existed at the time. It was a game where you input the angle of the gun and tried to hit the target and each shot would give you feedback regarding where you hit. If you shot at 90 degrees, it would say “You shot straight up, the shot went up. It came straight down. You lose.” Also interesting was that if you shot at <=0 degrees you got the feedback of “What’re you trying to do? Dig a ditch?”

People still haven’t learned this lesson. Now they do it with rifles and handguns.

Maybe advise to start with a pebble then work up to a rock…clunk!

High enough, and the earth’s rotation will do the rest …. now, stand a little to the east of me for my try with this Wrist-Rocket.

Well, Newton hadn’t been invented yet…

Ahhh, okay.

Pretty simple really, what goes up must come down.

The best laugh today!

We don’t think, or read instructions, we just DO!Man at his finest.

Amazing Race Season 17 Episode 1, contestant shoots herself with a catapult.

It’s the Chicxlulub asteroid!

The people doing the stupid things usually won’t read any warning signs either.
