Trebuchets (pronounced tre-byu-shay) are the superior siege engine, far outshining those disgraceful stone age esc catapults.

They were able to launch a 90kg projectile over a 300 meter distance. Imagine that!

I propose that October 15th be recognized as a national holiday, with schools and workplaces implementing trebuchet related activities (if not a payed day off) in order to celebrate the marvel of medieval technology that is known as the trebuchet.

If, and only if this petition is successful, It would spread the glorious word of the trebuchet to all. If this is not successful (god forbid), the mass population will continue to live in ignorance to the wonder that is the trebuchet.

This is not a laughing matter to me, because as a military commander of a fortress in the 1600's in England, My fortress was under siege by trebuchet, which decimated my fortress's pathetic catapults, and lead to the fort being seized, and all of my comrades were later brutally executed as prisoners of war. Long live the Queen, and thank you for listening to my TED talk.
