At one time, they used a chicken cannon to test the canopies on air craft. They expanded to testing jet engines, which resulted in chicken salad sand wedges.
The frozen turkey gun was not as popular as the frozen custard gun, but a lot more fun.
Oh, and lest I be thought of as a stable individual (except at the [funny] farm) I invented the real cat a pult. I was just horsing around. Recipe:
Take one bicycle inner tube, and cut a 1" section out containing the schrader valve. Discard schrader valve. You now have a long, very stretchy length of rubber tubing.
Take two nails, nailing each end of the rubber tube to a door jamb about 18 inches from the floor, on opposite sides (i.e., depending across the door).
Take one can of cat food.
Take thirty or so paces away from the door, holding the center of the stretchy thing in one hand, and the cat food in the others. Face the door.
Place the cat food on the ground directly in front of you while holding the inner tube about 8-10 inches from the floor.
Call "here kitty, kitty!" Wait for cat.
The rest should be self-explanatory.
For greater distance, increase the distance to floor where attached to door frame.
If you're in a bad mood, close the door first.
Please note: No actual cats were a pulted in the writing of this horrific recipe. Not even any imaginary ones. Well, ok, you got me... About 10 imaginary ones. Distances ranged from 30 or more yards, to "door".
