  • Never heard of them until Steve's helpful picture. Bah humbug. Can I bring my catapult to work? Promise I'll only fire soft round things. Pea shooter anyone? What about the old 'lastic band firing bits of cardboard.

    I wonder how long this fad will last? Perhaps after the 1st latte is spilt over someone's favourite laptop? After someone's hit in the eye, or fires it at the boss or senior manager after an argument? That'll be a good one on the discipline front; "It was fired at me in anger and not in fun", Evidence please.
