Failure to Launch

In this case we are talking about the failure to launch a nut in the right direction from a slingshot. It did leave the slingshot, but far from its desired target.


This all took place in the Monsopiad Cultural Village in Borneo. Part of the attraction of the village is that you get to try your hand at what the headhunters of old had to learn as part of warrior training. They all had to learn how to walk on stilts, use a slingshot, a blowdart gun, and of course, how to dance. :)We’ll show you the dance part some other time. For now though, you can watch how I failed miserably at being a warrior! If I lived in Borneo 300 years ago I would probably have been beheaded! ;)

Why does it seem so easy for her?
