    You said he built a working model of San Francisco--but this is just tiny! I've never been to San Francisco, but I've seen pictures and it is way larger than this. No way it would fit on a guy's head.

    I call bs!

    Thanks to this guy, SF leads the nation in toothpick sales per capita. Add that to their existing title as the largest consumer of dental dams, and you've got a city with a serious oral fixation.

    Oh, sure. Just because it's got sticks *and* balls you assume I tasered Nibbles to keep the post hard to access...

    Hmm... maybe Ruffies in his water bottle would have been a better approach...

    "Using his OCD for good, folk artist Scott Weaver has built a working model of San Francisco in toothpicks."


    Care to fill me in on what the "good" is you're referring to here? Other than it being a good old waste of time.
