Has anyone else noticed a lot of movies with catapults in them? For instance, they were the special-effects stars in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, particularly, the Return of the King. They've been on TV as well: Fox Sports, the Simpsons, Northern Exposure, PBS Nova, Warner Brother's cartoons and probably many others.

Here's my list, admittedly incomplete. If you've got more, send 'em to me. Use the contact page at williamgurstelle.com or see the contact page here.
