In summary, the conversation revolves around someone's determination to build something that may not be safe, specifically a trebuchet. While the participants admire the person's determination, they also acknowledge the potential danger and hope he does not actually attempt to fly it.

It's missing something. Perhaps a trebuchet.

I do admire his determination, however...

HAHAHA!

I would have to agree with you there. To be honest, he is probably lucky that it didn't get off the ground. It would probably come crashing down pretty quickly and someone might get hurt.

Also agreed.

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time!

I do hope he never gets it up to flying speed, as I agree it'll be his first and last flight. Surely he has friends or family who can talk him out of it! If not, their loss will be tragic.
