Punting


Did you know …

That “punting” (not the boat thing, the kicking thing) was invented in the 17th century as a means of removing excess puppies from villages? It’s true!

While it may seem obvious now, at the time punting was a tremendous breakthrough, and the result of years of experimentation to determine the best way of sending a puppy-sized object over a wall. Try it for yourself—without special tools, you’d be hard pressed to find a more effective method of getting a small dog airborne.

It just goes to show that anyone can be a scientist!
