Talk:Cardboard crossbow

Question about this item and all the other Cardboard/Bubblewrap/Styrofoam weapons. It's a meatsmithing component. Why? What can you make? Any guesses? --Cwitz 15:51, 24 July 2006 (CDT)

The urban legend itself was about a crossbow made of cardboard. The Mythbusters team used newspaper and underwear elastic based on the idea of a crossbow made from items easily accessible in a prison. I've edited the trivia accordingly, but put this here just in case -- vexingthoughts 13:20, 16 August 2006 (EST)
