Mr. Stan Munro of Syracuse, NY works with Toothpicks.
Below are his amazing designs.

A miniature city made out of millions of toothpicks
It took 38 year old Stan Munro 6 years to build this toothpick city. He used 6 million toothpicks and 170 litres of glue. He can spend up to 6 months to create a building and each of his creations is built to 1:164 scale. He works at the Museum of Science and Technology in Syracuse, New York (USA).
Look at the amazing works of one of the most patient men in the world.

I just have to post the info that came with this forward because I thought is was too funny. The video is cool though. Enjoy, King:

Turn your sound on for this. Read this first, then watch.

This is almost unbelievable.
See how all of the balls wind up in catcher cones.

This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between
the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of
Engineering at the University of Iowa .. Amazingly, 97% of
the machines components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation
Equipment of Bancroft , Iowa …Yes, farm equipment!

It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment,
calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can
see it was WELL worth the effort.

It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the
University of Iowa, and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.

Open, Play, or Run the attached video . . . .

On January 9, 2008, a tornado struck northern Illinois, leaving a trail of damage from Poplar Grove (Boone County) all the way to Harvard (McHenry County). The timing of the tornado was just right as to run across some tracks right when a train was passing by. Thanks to a camera mounted on the train, we see what happens when a train battles a tornado.
