    just to see what a spirit actually looks like being crushed.

    Jesus, if I had a wife on the rag for that lenth, I'd probably find an equally time consuming hobby to avoid her. :p

    Dear Mr.Reynolds,

    We at the Guiness Book of Records are happy to confirm that you have attained the world record for the most utterly pointless use of 15 years of a human life.

    Yours etc.,

    Blah blah blah

    I was expecting an oil rig over a 15 year olds menstrating vagina...

    I know, I'm weird

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Mr Reynolds' wife Julie said: "I am absolutely sick to death at the sight of a matchstick but I think there is still more to come unfortunately.

    "But at least I know where he is and what he's doing, so I'd rather have him there than down the pub."

    She sounds a right cnut.

    In the end you have nothing to show if you spend your time helping the poor and needy.

    At least this guy gets a piece of work in the museum, has his name in the world book of records and will make a fair sum of money from whoever buys it. Poor people can't give you that.

    thats about 730 matches a day, every fukcing day for 15 years, no wonder his wife is pissed off looking at fukcing matches, although fair play to him for commitment.
    His wife said she's glad he did'nt work on the fukcing QE2.

    William Shanks still owns this one.


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Shanks

    William Shanks earned his living by owning a boarding school at Houghton-le-Spring, which left him enough time to spend on his hobby of calculating mathematical constants. His routine was as follows: he would calculate new digits all morning; and then he would spend all afternoon checking his morning's work.

    Yes Billy boy spent 25 years calculating the digits of Pi

    Can you imagine anything more pointless ?

    Actually yes.



    He made a mistake and got the wrong answer :D

    I thought it was going to be a real oil rig.
    I thought, he's just one man, I suppose it would take 15 years.
