There is a real law in Aspen Colorado that catapults may not be fired at buildings within city limits.

Are there natural targets outside Aspen, that could be aimed at within Aspen?

Like, if you could stand just inside the city limits, and aim the catapult out at things?  Yes, elk, I suppose.

When the B58 bomber came into service it cost more than its weight in gold.

Was that a laden or unladen B58?

Monty Python reference?
And, weirdly enough, I did know that about Wombats.

Here's a fun fact: The word testicles comes from Latin testiculi meaning "little witnesses",  and to swear by one's testicles was an ancient form of oath. Hence the word "testify".
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.
