Throwing Things: Lessons in Athletics and War From a Distance, Friday, Period 2
The Danger Shop was a big lawn today. "The Olympics start today, so we're going to look at the three classic throwing track and field events. The Hammer Throw, the Discus, and the Javelin. Please keep in mind that any of these can and will kill someone through long distance bludgeoning, stabbing or..." Fred held up the discus. "I dunno, accidental swallowing. I guess it could give you a concussion and if that happens enough time you'll end up messed up. Still. Eventually deadly."
The process was as you might expect by this point in the summer: Fred demonstrated the proper way to throw a big ball at the end of a rope, a discus, and a very sharp stick, just like Olympic athletes did! Only better, if you asked him.
"And that's how it's done. Give it a shot, and then get ready for the Opening Ceremonies tonight." He meant 'leave and get some beer before eventually sitting down in front of the TV and mocking NBC.'
