He's a dentist from New Hampshire. With a lot of help from family and friends, he has built Yankee Siege, a trebuchet of welded scrap steel that stands over six stories tall. Meet Bruce Bradford. He's an ironworker from Michigan. He and his family and friends have built an air cannon with a barrel 150' long and holds the world distance record with a throw of over 4,400'. Meet the town councilman, the naturalist and the microbiologist from New Jersey who built a ferocious catapult. Meet BJ and Stephanie, an all womens team from Delaware. Meet the Orthodox high schoolers from the Bronx. Meet the Boy Scouts, the software engineers, the IT guys, the shrink, the little girls from Vermont – and all the good old boys and girls who started it all.<BR/><BR/>If you're looking for fun, look no further. If you like to laugh, you've come to the right place. If you didn't think pumpkins could fly, you need to think again. Feeling down? Concerned about the economy? Frustrated with the war? Confused about the election? You might just need to spice up your day with a shot of some good old-fashioned down-home punkin pie. With any luck, you might even get a new attitude. Good luck.
