Lay Siege to Your Colleagues with the Desktop Onager

We must admit that we had a really hard time trying to imagine a desktop onager, let alone accepting the fact that you can actually get one (or more, depending on the atmosphere in your war zone at the office). Nevertheless, if you're a true office warrior and are looking for new weapons to terrify and annoy your colleagues at work with, the Desktop Onager may simply be one of the best choices you'll come across.

This onager, or in simpler words – catapult, is one nifty wooden toy you can buy for a very decent price, and one that will offer you some fun before starting to siege your friends – you must actually build this contraption, by assembling together all the pieces that come in the box.

Now, you mustn't think that an engineer's mind is needed for this construction. The Desktop Onager has a design simple enough for both your first-grade children and your grandmother to be able to build the trebuchet, but at the same time complex enough to make you feel that you've accomplished a very important task in your office-war.

Once the product is ready, you can start the battle at once, as it also comes with some wooden balls you can bomb your enemies with. If you happen to run out of these items, the Desktop Onager will work just fine with pretty much any small objects on your desk, such as erasers, pen caps, pieces of chalk, and so many more. Our fellow-editors from GadgetHeat got a bit carried away and suggested using the gadget with some projectiles you've previously set on fire, but we are inclined to say that this might be a bit too radical.

Yet, the Desktop Onager will surely provide you with a lot of fun, especially if there are several ballistas like this one in the same office. You can wage your office war spending $30 on the Desktop Onager here.
