PUMPKIN POWER!!!!!!!! 
This is actually very cool. I would LOVE one of these! But I am terrified to learn of what litigation might await me (I live in New York State, where you can’t even have a can opener without a license and numerous “fees” and “surcharges.”)
But I also have to wonder about the folks who live “down the pike” from the cannon… I can’t help but wonder what they think about all the squashes and pumpkins suddenly littering their backyard. Pumpkins from Mars? Could it be a sign? Hahah!!
P.S. Did you notice that when the guy was asked what his favorite form of cannon ammunition was, his answer was “bowling balls!”??
:egads:
I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
