Swine cannon

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Swine cannons were devices which were used to fire pigs.

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

Swine cannons were used to fire pigs over the walls of Muslim cities during the First Crusade, circa 1098 AD, "causing both loss of life and gratuitous offence".

A song by the Beatles, "I Am the Walrus", featured the line "See how they run, like pigs from a gun.".

The My-Little-Pony gun was modelled on the swine cannons. (PROSE: The Beasthouse [+]Loading...["The Beasthouse (short story)"])
