#13 is the capitol building you dumbass. I certainly hope this website is not run by americans.
go ahead and moderate my comments. thats why you dont have any posted right? because everyone is calling you on your bullshit? If you are an american have a little PRIDE! Know your gov. buildings
number 13 is not the white house, in fact i’m pretty sure it’s the capital building. but i’m positive that it’s not the whitehouse
sallyz right, that’s the us capital building
13. Whitehouse = FAIL.
That’s the Capitol Building idiots.
Sorry – my mistake!
I am British and thought it looked like the whitehouse. Thanks for pointing it out!
lol apologies for not recognising every american building ever created!
I think everything looks cool!
David Mach made the coolest matchstick masks ever, really fine art, far more refined than the cruder masks shown here. And he’s made stuff out of everything imaginable, from box cars to phone booths.

…And #1 is not a mclaren f1. Dammit, you’re a brit, you should know better.
That could be an f1 car. It could even be built by mclaren. But it is not a mclaren f1
Hey, I wonder what they could construct using bic lighters as an alternative to matches. I knew a guy once who turned old Ukulele’s into matches, during the depression when there was a glut of Ukuleles, but no-one ever had a light. . He tried it with banjos but was stopped by the American Society of Primative American String Instruments AMSPASI. Years of Court proceedings followed. He went to the chair in Frisco in “63. Nice guy, though. Good dancer. Never wore a hat.
By the way, what do you reckon their girlfriends are getting up to whilst the boffin nerd boyfriends are spending twenty two hours a day of their lives in the shed, stickin’ together boxes of matches into bigger bits of wood that resemble the freaking Mona Lisa? Betcha the place is a hot-bed of servicemen and repairmen arriving at two-hour intervals.
A lot of these guys have very limited careers however, regardless of their talent or “gift”, because when it comes down to it they’re just glue sniffers who’ll be selling you kitsch matchstick “art” today, but then stealing the car you were hoping to take it home in, nine months down the track, a buyer already lined-up. And let’s face it, drug addicts can be a bit unreliable. He may not bring your car back. I lent $50 to a nice young man, very itchy arms, Bob, his name was, in March in Time Square. He promised to give it back at 9.30 sharp next morning but didn’t arrive at the designated spot. I hope he’s alright.
So, well, there you go. I’ve pretty much got that off my chest.
Yeah, I knew an old lady once who was so poor she put herself up for auction on Ebay. There were no bids at first so she decided to put in a false bid to try and get things moving along. Having no idea that her sneaky little bid on herself would bring down the state-wide shit-storm that it did, she inoccently placed a bid of $12.75, pick-up only, then had a nice cup of tea and a lie down. The FBI are generally the organization who handle these kinds of situations. Local guys might be doing some onsite pre-lim co-ordination, but when the Feds take over and some wisecracking Agent throws dirt in the face of the respected, uniformed patrol in command, you know it’s a bad day to be an old lady with okay computer skills. Turns out she had 30 lb of plastic explosive stowed in her mobility car. Took out a whole city block.
She loved puppies too….
Ok, the Challenger model was just plain COOL!
stupid americans. i bet most of them won’t even know something like the house of lords of the great wall when they see it.. yet they jump all over someone for not knowing the whitehouse. stupid idiots.
…and I don’t give a sh*t either.
I think it’s fantastic and am not at all offended that you didn’t know it was the Capitol Building. I don’t know every monument in London, so why would you know every monument here? Thanks for sharing it!
Lets light a match
