"It's only a model"

I mentioned that I bought my wife a trebuchet. Here's a picture of it.

And where does one go to buy a trebuchet?

Well, duh.

Kim's is the tabletop version.

Oh, and if you don't know what “It's only a model” refers to, I pity you...

  If you don't know what "It's only a model" refers to, then you can't be a TRUE PROGRAMMER because you can't pass this test:

  (I should make a multiple guess version of it.)

  Tim: I KNOW a MODEL when I see one! (And this one does NOT have the legs to which I'm accustomed! Not tanned enough...)
  
  You reminded of an off-color (off-model?) joke I heard at a modeling BOF about 15 years ago at the first or second Borland conference in Monterey: "Those that CAN, model! Those that CAN'T, code!" by none other than Grady Booch. (Fortunately, everyone already had a few too many that night...and a riot did NOT break out... He did clarify it by saying "You noticed that I didn't say developers?!" I guess his lesson that night was "thus, if you CAN develop, you CAN model too!")

  Steve, I CAN model, the question is, would anyone want me to?
