I'm always fascinated by people building stuff out of cards.

That's a very impressive accomplishment. I don't think I would have the patience making things out of cards.

Yeah, I think the 44 days thing is the most impressive part... more than the 218,000 cards.

I can't imagine going each day to work on it for even a week (let alone 6), hoping each day as I arrive, that it somehow wasn't destroyed overnight.

Although with some of these crazier playing card models, they actually seem pretty stable. I saw one get destroyed on TV once, and it was able to withstand getting lightly bumped (the way the cards were sort of wedged together).

Wow that's awesome.
