I learned that some people have a LOT of patience: see

It took Stan Munro (38) 6 years to build this toothpick city. He used 6 million toothpicks and 170 litres of glue. Each of his creations is built to 1:164 scale. He works at the Museum of Science and Technology in Syracuse, New York (USA).

That is either lots of patience or a lot of time on your hands and being bored.


But those are some cool looking buildings. I will give him props for that.

I thought the same thing. I assume the description is correct and the pic is wrong since the Stang listing and pic is correct.

Today I learned the difference between a gerbil and a hamster.

There's more dark meat on a gerbil.

All you had to do is ask Richard Gere. He can tell you the difference without even looking.

I have to watch. One of my co-workers daughters tried out for it. Last I heard she made it past the first round. Don't know how far she got in round 2 yet.
