I just heard about this oddball contraption on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me on NPR (and their game "Bluff the Listener.") and I first thought it was a joke. Then I thought with the high school physics I have learned in mind...
Gee... this could work out... never really thought about it before... nah, can't be true... and then the result...
It was the true story.
I just fear birds getting in the way of the human projectile. But that I hope will be watched for when playing around *cough* I mean using the device.

Really? It lives? I mean, you siad it works, but it lives as well??? So tell me, how does it feel? What is it thinking about right now? Does the laucher have any opinions about who to first launch? And if it does, does it have any preference on how to launch him and where?
And gee, I must ask, besides breathing for pnumatics, does anyone feed it anything?
