Tonight there was an ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Improv Design contest. I didn't know about it until 10 minutes after it started. One of the people in a meeting I was in was heading to it so I tacked along. I've been to these before and they are always really fun. We get free food, and we get to make random cool stuff in a short time to accomplish a task.
This competition was a destroy the castle task. We had about 45 minutes to make a catapult out of some wood, a mouse trap, some Duct Tape, and some other random items (like straws and rubber bands).
