DEN OEVER, The Netherlands (Reuters) - A Viking ship made from ice-cream sticks set sail for England from the Netherlands on Tuesday.


The 15-metre (50-foot) long ship, named after the Norse god Thor, is made from 15 million recycled ice-cream sticks glued together by U.S.-born stuntman Robert McDonald, his son and more than 5,000 children.

"If you can dream it you can do it ... I want to teach children that anything is possible," McDonald said.

I hope they gave it a good 'lick' of paint.
 
What is that ship's method of locomotion? Good intentions?

Seriously though, that is pretty damn cool.

I wonder if any used tongue depressors were utilized.

Also, the sails are made from childrens' soiled underwear.

Is it really a good idea for them to sail to England?

It will be graffitied and vandalised within 10 minutes of being docked...

It would be pretty funny after sailing for awhile that the glue just dried up and the ship fell apart:rofl:
