Dec 9, 2009: Stagecoach
Looks like a well preserved example, of an old Wells Fargo stagecoach.
But it ain't. Quote:

"What, they have a category for stagecoaches made of 1.5 million toothpicks and no glue? I don't get it?"
Of course they do. I thought everyone knew that.

A whole new meaning for "splinters in the ass".

Trivia fact: The glue was made from the horses that were originally intended to pull the completed stagecoach.

Clearly the glue is the villain in this story.

in the UK the main brand of stick glue it/was Pritt stick. Me and my classmates all called it prick stick at least until we could read and realised it wasn't. Good job we had no idea what a prick was then. other than a sharp thing. I bet our parents and teachers giggled like loonies behind our backs. Especially as the second most common brand was UHU (yoohoo). They has very different smells "Hey, can we swap glues? my UHU smell funny and I want the prick stick."

The question is: do you think this is what his wife meant when she asked him to take up a hobby?

He thought it was unladylike for her to be chewing on a toothpick, so he glued them all together.

It's really not as daunting as it seems. It only works out to an average of 274 toothpicks per day...for 365 days...for 15 years.
Nevermind.

It says 250 lbs, so I'd guess not, but still pretty damn big.

You're right, I didn't watch the video before, because of the Nissan commercial at the beginning. I think the 250lbs is very low, or that happened when it was only partially done.
