if Wile E Coyote could see this old brochure, I expect he'd say, "Well, I certainly need those! That looks like an entertaining way to chase, and a marvelous way to squish, a Road Runner!"

or did I just enjoy too many Saturday morning cartoons as a kid? 

After all, if it's from ACME, it's bound to be great for a sophisticated plan to use a catapult or trebuchet to capture or kill a Road Runner... and entertain generations of kids
