Grr!! My dastardly plot

My Mom just totally rearranged my drawers- and now I can't find the stuff I had in my spare drawer. Which was all my treasure. Which sucks, because she might actually have broken something. Honestly.
I've decided that to prevent further invasions of my room and privacy (That would make a good beginning of a declaration...), I am going to booby-trap my room.
Yes, I am serious. Hey, if the kid in Home Alone could do it, so can I. xD
I'm thinking a catapult that is triggered by opening the door and flings balloons filled with toothpaste or apple juice at the intruder. I'd have to test it, but I'm sure it can be done. Maybe I'll ask Wesc.
So, obviously, I'll need balloons. Easy enough. I'll say it's for a school project (by the time I'm ready to use the balloons, school will have started). And toothpaste. I can say it's for an art project, or I could steal some OJ from the fridge. As for the catapult, I'll need a lever and a base. (this much I know- it involves experience with boredom, erasers, rulers, and pencils.) Actually, speaking of the eraser thing- that might come in handy.
So I put a pencil down on the desk. Then, I put a ruler across it perpendicularly (is that the right word?) and put the eraser on one side. When I tapped the other side of the ruler, the eraser was flung into the air. I just need to find out how to make it go forward and up instead of just up.
It'd have to be more of a fling, which means... Hey, maybe I'll check out how the trojans did it.
And a few more modern sites. Ta-tah.
Sincerely,
Soapey, the dastardly plotter
