In a truly laudable piece of silliness, a former stuntman from Jacksonville, Florida, yesterday launched a 15m replica Viking longship constructed entirely from 15 million ice cream sticks.

I'd make a giant lollypop stick... one stick to rule them all.

the best I could do was make the small triangle boats, and then all the sticks would fly in different directions when you put it down.
