>I saw it on the news this morning. They showed it in the water, moving. It floats but is it sea worthy? The guy wants to sail it across the ocean. I think I'd pass on that one...especially if the life boats are made of popsicle sticks too.

>Centralians are no doubt aware of the evidence that the Vikings were among the earliest European settlers on the American continent. Less well-known than Leif Ericsson (sp?) is the intrepid experimental shipbuilder and explorer Gud Humorr, who made it to the coast of New England.

His descendants slowly migrated to Vermont, where some of them inspired Ben and Jerry to start an ice cream shop, and the rest is history...
