FULL-SCALE MATCHSTICK RACECAR


And today's Geek of the Day award goes to 36-year-old Michael Arndt of Germany.

Over the course of six years . . . and using 956,000 matchsticks and 1,686 tubes of glue . . . Michael built a FULL-SCALE replica of a racecar . . . a McLaren 4/14 F1, for those of you who know cars.

It cost around $8,700, and takes up his entire kitchen . . . as well as most of his time. And it breaks down into 45 separate pieces so Michael can transport it to . . . get this . . . matchstick-builders conventions.

How much do you want to bet he's single or lives with his parents???
