I think the thing on the scale model is the tiny trebuchet they put there. That's why they look similar. Now, I wonder what happened to the other trebuchet.

Shrink ray, obviously.

also: I missed the part where we named him Cueball, but he's apparently been called that since at least page 87, so it's hardly time to argue about his name now.

The image url says otherwise.

The name has existed for a long time, and didn't originate here.

I think she's building a flux capacitor. Cueball's gone to get the Delorian. And the extra plutonium.

Yeah, but where's he gonna get one-point-twenty-one jigawatts, in that [sandy/icy/semenatedcancerbabycoffee] wasteland?

Actually, it was a major point of the movie that the one-point-twenty-one jigawatts came from the plutonium that cmyk mentioned, in the original design. So, not much of an objection, there.

Damme, you're right. There's been a major lapse of time since I saw the movie. I mostly remember the jigawatts line because a former colleague of mine, when some serious problem arose, would sputter "One-point-twenty-one jigawatts?! How'm I gonna get..." etc., etc. Since he could do a pretty good Christopher Lloyd impression, this was effective.
I never saw any of the sequels; were they any good?

What sequels?
But seriously, I got ticked off when I went to see Part II totally unaware that there was going to be a Part III, much less that Part II would have a cliffhanger ending leading to Part III. So, I never did see the third.

There's a body of water right by them. If they wait, A storm would come along eventually.

"Yes, but unfortunately you never know when or where a bolt of lightning is going to strike!"
Unless they build a broken sand clocktower.

Actually, there was a point when Cueball had started building on the middle tower, but before it became clear that he was replicating the scene at 1:7 scale, when I thought it looked like he might be making Big Ben & Westminster/Parliament there. So, we certainly can't rule that out.
Go, fulgarites!
