An expensive, dangerous apparatus in a completely pointless exercise. Delicious.

2. To be fair, their "house of bricks" was just a single wall of stacked bricks....
...but I agree.

I NEED a vortex cannon!

5. Where are the 3 other walls, and how about some mortar?
These structures were designed to fall down, which is what they did. Big deal. During WWII the Germans were working on a sound cannon that theoretically could kill a man at 250 yards.

8. "the Germans were working on a sound cannon that theoretically could kill a man at 250 yards."
Dangerous, cutting-edge research that ultimately led to the development of Celine Dion...
