Brief History Lesson: In the 14th Century, the French village of Castilleaux was under siege from Northern Hordes. The attack went on so long, that the villagers ran out of stones to put in their catapults. But all was not lost! The savvy townsfolks were prosperous pig farmers, and they decided to use the porkers as projectiles in their catapults. Each time they hurled a porker over the barricade, the Frenchmen would cry out "Les cochons son dans le ciel!" ("The pigs are in the sky!") The barbarians, caught off guard by this rain of swine, turned and retreated the hinterlands. To this day, the good people of Castilleaux greet each with cries of "Les cochons son dans le ciel!"* Now you can relive that historical milestone with your very own miniature Pig Catapult! It's a hand-held catapult that effectively hurls mini-pigs distances up to 15 feet. Besides the cool-looking catapult, you get 20 little pigs to use as projectiles. The back of the package even has a target to hone your aim. We can't say it's the most useful thing we sell, but think of of the fun you'll have flinging pigs and yelling, "Les cochons son dans le ciel!"
