That's too bad. As a physics teacher, HowStuffWorks is a good source of real world examples for the classroom.<br><br>Unfortunately, knowledge can be used for evil . . . and it is also a goal to keep the burning, exploding, and general destruction in the lab to a minimum . . . as much fun as that may be.

Plus the fact that, at least here in the states, you get named in the law suit along with the school if somebody gets hurt ,

As far as the toaster, I think it's about ready to be thrown in Lake Michegan .<br><br>"No officer, I'm not doing anything here with this toaster. I just thought I'd take it for a walk."

*Consults google on "trebuchet"*<br><br>You mean, you want a contest catapulting old appliances, or a contest seeing how far a former toaster can catapult something?
