More gnome talk. So sue me. :p
As Sturm Brightblade once said, gnomes are intuitive, creative, inventive. But the world is not ready for a logical gnome. And thank the gods there aren't, because they will lose their charm. =) I found this at the Wizards Dragonlance website, and was promptly amused. It'll be fun to write a Dragonlance gnome fanfic. Oops.

Gnome Contraption FC12252002-HHSG
From: Pleasecheckthattheareaisclearbeforeturningoverthevalveandsteppingcarefullyaway
fromthetestingarea, Fourth Secretary to the Undersecretary of the Department for the Consideration of Anomalous By-Products.
To: Inventorofthegiantcannonthatblewuponitsthirdfiringandwasturnedintoan

Subject: Possible new defensive weapon.
Sir:
I attach correspondence concerning the unexpected by-product of a steam-powered cleaning brush and chopping block (patent pending). I have examined this by-product with some care and have come to the following conclusions:
1. It is remarkably heavy.
2. It is extremely dense.
3. It is inedible.
I followed the suggestion of employing it as a doorstop but was forced to cease when too many people stubbed their toes on it. Its size prevents its effective use as a paperweight.
Since it must have some use, I suggest you might consider it as a possible projectile in your new Mark 17.3 .90 calibre gnomeflingers. The only obstacle I can see to this is the sheer weight of the thing, but I am sure a scientist of your expertise will have little trouble in solving this problem.
With respect, etc., etc.
