Hey pal, do you have the… ow, my eye!
I’ve stopped wearing watches. The correct time is never too far from view anymore, nor do I lack for devices on my person to keep me temporally informed. However, I’ve always loved watches and clocks as works of gadget art. #
Back in the day, I had a musical watch from Casio that played about 12 different songs. I still think that was the coolest watch ever, but Gadgetopia just posted an item about a watch that could actually be cooler – and more useful to high-schoolers – The Catapult Watch! #
A quick trip to the website confirmed that “the only watch that’s also a weapon” was real. It must be real; gif animations don’t lie. Even the tagline for this timpiece trebuchet is clever: “It’s time to get medieval on your friends. ” #
If this kind of thing shakes your groove thing, see the Backyard Artillery home page for potato guns, pig catapults, and rubber band machine guns! #

I have a gigantic wristwatch made out of wood that hangs on the wall. It is awesome.
