Guy Builds Olympic Village Replica with 140,000 Playing Cards
Posted by Kit Eaton at 12:00 AM on August 19, 2008
This Olympics Village model made by an expert card-stacker makes the Lego Olympics look just naff in comparison. I mean, that model's just a lot of plastic parts snapped together: This guy had to avoid shaky hands, sneezing and stepping incautiously for a whole 20 days while he put the card model together, detailing even the woven-girder shapes of the Bird's Nest. Yup— that's 20 days, 140,000 cards and 100% craziness. [Random Good Stuff]

@Curves: Haha yeah they have the glass barrier so no one can even breath on it. The Chinese guy with the wine coulda knocked it down though.

@Joseph: I thought about that too, but did you see the glass enclosure built around it? Someone thought of sneezing, passing gas and rude kids.

Dizzam! I was going to say, "get a life!" Except that's not a bad life if you think about it.
@godwhacker: "i want video of disassembly and whoever has to play 140,000 pick-up."
It's China, they'll just set it on fire and let it burn.
