- NuPagady, on 07/20/2009, -0/+46Nothing says light me on fire like four million matchsticks.
- inactive, on 07/20/2009, -1/+33Striking!
- Sewermutt, on 07/20/2009, -0/+27... "and an astonishing 15 seconds burning it to the ground"
- inactive, on 07/20/2009, -1/+26boredom + no internet
- stilesja, on 07/20/2009, -3/+24Yes, its impressive, buy what is the point? I never really understood the motivation for people to perform projects like this.
- cristinamk, on 07/20/2009, -0/+14"A former oil rig worker ........"
- FlyItAgainKites, on 07/20/2009, -0/+14Waiting for something like this to happen...
http://www.yourdailymedia.com/media/1137150306 - omae, on 07/20/2009, -5/+19the same motivation some1 would get full season pvp gear in WoW
there is no point, other than to say "look at me!" - nahsrocketeer75, on 07/20/2009, -2/+11Matchless!
- CrazyEddie041, on 07/20/2009, -1/+8Pfff, two weekends. I've spent more time than that picking my nose.
- orangedi, on 07/20/2009, -0/+7Thumbs up for using Godzilla as a verb.
- BAM22, on 07/20/2009, -1/+8it would be more impressive to me if it actually worked
/s - inactive, on 07/20/2009, -0/+7I want to godzilla that thing so badly
- MikeEnIke, on 07/20/2009, -4/+10Why? and why an oil rig?
- flamesoftheend, on 07/20/2009, -0/+6put in museum asap
- inactive, on 07/20/2009, -0/+6Boy it just lights me up to see things like this.
- inactive, on 07/20/2009, -0/+6Reminds me of that DC mod level
- dukeeeey, on 07/20/2009, -4/+9satisfaction of completeing it and saying, "I made that"
- Chordinator, on 07/20/2009, -0/+5"The current world record for a model is 3.5 million matches so I'm just waiting for someone to come and adjudicate."
Sucks for the guy who has to go and count all those matches. - xxsplitfirexx, on 07/20/2009, -0/+4It may be a model...but it's just as flammable....
- enicholas, on 07/20/2009, -0/+41 matchstick every 30 seconds = 2 per minute
2 per minute * 60 minutes per hour * 24 hours per day = 2,880 matchsticks per day
2,880 matchsticks per day * 365.25 days per year = 1,051,920 matchsticks per year
So your math is indeed wrong. At the rate you specify, you're looking at around four years of work, not 15. - homercles337, on 07/20/2009, -0/+4What is it with the Brits and their matchstick models?
- MokaPot, on 07/20/2009, -1/+5So that's how ESSO employees spend their time once everything's up and running. I always wondered what they could do if not wait for the money to pour in....
- ShadowFusion, on 07/20/2009, -0/+4what have you done with your life that would merit people on the opposite side of the planet reading about?
that's what i thought...
he can do whatever makes him happy, this one just happens to be pretty sweet and unique to the world - inactive, on 07/20/2009, -0/+4I never get tired of that video
"Geez Brian, I don't know what to say" - viking0895, on 07/20/2009, -2/+5and i thought diggers had no life.
- omae, on 07/20/2009, -0/+3oh god the memories, too many snipers on that map. my fav area was below the deck with assault class.
- dstachio, on 07/20/2009, -1/+4Working offshore leaves lots of down time when you come back in from the rig.
- RegularUser, on 07/20/2009, -0/+3You are correct. I did backward math in my head. It is one matchstick in two minutes not two matchsticks in one minute.
- iPwnN00bs, on 07/20/2009, -4/+7Kill it with fire!
- Gustomucho, on 07/20/2009, -1/+4Diner de con?
- RegularUser, on 07/20/2009, -2/+5It comes up to one matchstick every 30 seconds for the last 15 years; 24/7, hmm...
- jmb93, on 07/20/2009, -0/+3So that's what you do when you retire...you build a oil rig replica with 4 million match sticks (individually polished and glued of course)...
- bigern75, on 07/20/2009, -0/+3Now that ... is ... totally ... awesome!!
- theoriginalaks, on 07/20/2009, -0/+315 years and 4,000,000 matchsticks later man realizes goal of getting 15 picture spread on the telegraph's website.
- svendm, on 07/20/2009, -0/+315 years of sitting in the garage?
This man must hate his wife... - surf1punk, on 07/20/2009, -1/+4That's not true, you become the coolest person in the WORLD!!!!...of warcraft.
- WitnessX, on 07/20/2009, -2/+4It's a bit of irony I can appreciate in art, since they're both quite flammable.
Let's light it up, and appreciate it some more! - LordVance, on 07/20/2009, -1/+3It's not ironic, and that's kind of the point.
- ramiro, on 07/20/2009, -0/+2That was freaking embarassing.
- DarkDemon, on 07/20/2009, -0/+2Did they blow up the heads?
- brownsound00, on 07/20/2009, -0/+2that's horrible
- Th3Wh1teRabb1t, on 07/20/2009, -0/+2Wow! Did the guy's mic cord hit the bottom, or was it just it's time to go? I couldn't really see
- xanksnap, on 07/20/2009, -0/+215 years? time well spent. (not)

- ShadowFusion, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1then no one would care about it
- chrrie, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1is it still difficult to do that or does bliz just let you just buy everything now?
i miss wow :( - buckrogers1965, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1When the guy got close to the end I would so start counting too... 1... 2... 3... 4...
