Pumpkin Pitch
Here's a sad story on the eve of Halloween. Jacob Roloff, the little, non-Little boy on the reality series everyone's mom loves to watch, Little People, Big World, was injured Saturday night in an accident involving a pumpkin launcher. OK, so my heart goes out to the boy's family, but I carted a few pumpkins around myself on Saturday night, in nothing more dangerous than a plastic bag, and I still came away with two bruised toes. So whatever the hell a "pumpkin launcher" is, in my mind Kid + Pumpkin Launcher = Bad Situation. I wish Jacob a speedy recovery. (Source)

Last season featured the family building a trebuchet to launch pumpkins through the air. A trebuchet is a seige weapon from the middle ages - built to catapult objects so they crash into thick stone walls and crumble them enough for the attackers to invade.
