for those of you that don't read German, basically that's "Potato Cannon!!"

but imo it sounds better in german.

the Times has a nice little article about kids building these bazookas from drainage pipe

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-558570,00.html


Some youths have made multi-barrelled potato cannons, resembling the Soviet Katyusha rocket launchers of the Second World War and capable of firing at a phenomenal rate.

both cool and stupid at the same time :D

It's a shame that Germany wants to illegalize anything thats fun. E.g. paintball, violent video games...pretty soon that will probably extend to contact sports and childhood playground activities.

From being bent on world domination to puritan in 60 years...that can't be healthy, poor Germans...

/me smacks the conservatives

I hate those who decide they will act as the moral police and try to outlaw things that they do not personally like. We all have a mind, if you dont like a certain game, dont play it. If you dont like a certain movie, dont bloody watch it. But when they try to force their morals onto people....oh they must die:doh:
