# Did you see that thing in the Metro (free City-based paper)
about the Cambridge boffin who was launched by a trebuchet on an "Adventure Weekend" and totally failed to hit the safety net?

There is no punchline; he died.

# surely the punchline is
that his girlfriend(?) broke her hip (or maybe some other bones) a couple of summers ago when she bounced off the safety net.

Edit: sorry fact fans it was the g/f of the guy who was doing the launching, not of the guy who was launched.
