    I found this article while surfing slashdot.org.

    When I saw the pictures all I could think of was the potential for model railroading. Benchwork made from FedEx boxes!!!

    Think about how many FedEx boxes you get in this hobby. Free benchwork material!!

    I am scanning the pictures trying to see where the empty bong and beer cans are. This is like something out of one of those cheech and chong movies.

    "whao dude we have so many boxes...."
    "yeah like boxes, whaoooo....."
    "Lets make furniture"
    "yeah, ok sure, I'm completely baked... whaoooo"

    But the potential for layout frame work is there. I agree. Cardboard is one of those really amazing materials. I guess we know what your modelling project is next weekend huh Goon? lol Cardboard central.
