When Trebuchets Are Outlawed... Dept
The Telegraph:
Hundreds of tourists have been evacuated from Warwick Castle after a burning cannonball fired from the world’s largest working siege machine destroyed a medieval boathouse by fire.Turns out the boathouse was actually a 19th-century reproduction, but still a sad loss. And siegery, even when only for show, remains a serious business. (22 Tonnes. Wow!)
Sparks from the cannonball which was fired from the wooden trebuchet ignited the roof of the ancient boathouse causing a blaze on Friday night.
...
The Trebuchet Fireball Spectacular is one of the Castle’s main attractions.
[The trebuchet] was built in 2005, stands 60ft high, weighs 22 tonnes and has been fired at least 6,500 times.

Thanks a lot for the nice list that you have included in here. Thanks a lot for the information that the game dr. driving is now free. I should get on chrome store while it's still there. I'm just happy because most of the apps and games that I want are in here and I no longer have to pay premiums for it. I hope that it doesn't contain any malware or viruses because if it does, then it will have some problems with my anti-virus. By the way, how often do you guys upload this kind of stuff? Because I'm excited to check out what kind of list you'll be uploading next.
