Huh? Your home planet is a trebuchet?

He means the name of your home planet, Geekus Prime. Does it have anything to do with "Optimise" (Lolz, Optimus, we program in BASIC too much) Prime from Transformers?

aka, DJ knows what a trebuchet is.

it's a big arm that usually has a weight on one end, and a basket to toss stuff from on the other. The weight on the one end is raised up high, then the basket is loaded, then the weight is dropped, tossing the contents of the basket into the air.

QUOTE (Wikipedia)

A trebuchet is a medieval siege engine, a weapon employed either to smash masonry walls or to throw projectiles over them. It is sometimes called a "counterweight trebuchet" in order to distinguish it from an earlier weapon that has come to be called the "traction trebuchet." Sometimes the word trebuchet is used to refer ambiguously to either weapon, but originally it referred to the counterweighted weapon. All trebuchets were made from wood.

When people say "trebuchet", I either think of the siege weapon I made out of Lego for my little Undead minifig army or the siege weapon in Age of Empires 2 that is the best when coupled with 30 longbowmen.
