Does he think that his brother is a vampire?

Looks like a good reason for a younger brother to get mildly incapacitated if he tries using that thing on something other than a piece of cardboard.

I suspect that Jason pushed those pencils through the cardboard.

It’s impressive that the coat hanger can provide so much tension

When I was a teen many years ago, I built a working scale model Roman catapulta that probably should have gotten me arrested.

Piercing argument.

When I was a kid, I would sometimes lend my older sister money. So let me see, 1963, $2 at 33 1/3% interest compounded daily …

I am not sure what that value is, but it is beyond the ability of an Excel spreadsheet to calculate.

When I was a kid, we made slingshots out of coat hangers, rubber bands, and a rectangle of rubber…

If you prefer, you may sleep with the fishes…….

i need to try that

I want my two dollars! – Better Off Dead movie

Watch out, Peter! The pencil is sharpened as sharp as a Hindu dagger!

For some reason the Game of Thrones scene where Tyrion kills his father springs to mind…

Why doesn’t he just chase him around on a BMX bike like the kid in Better off Dead?

I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS!

I’m still waiting for Lane to get back to me about whether or not he’d mind if I took Beth out…

With a normal bow, energy to propel the arrow is stored in the bow when it is flexed. With Jason’s design, the energy is stored when the rubber band is stretched.

Oddly, the coat hanger part looks less bent than it did before Jason stretched the rubber band.

Don’t mention this at school!
