Putting to use all those Physics Classes

31 Aug 2006

Crossing past a frat @ MIT, Jacob and I noticed a massive man-made catapult/trebuchet in front of a frat house, apparently in anticipation for orientation. I wonder what they’re planning to get airborne? It looked like the gray and orange objects at the bottom were huge blocks of concrete. It must have been hell trying to get permission to put this thing up…
