We used to make boats out of 1/2 gallon paper milk cartons (cut in half length-wise), or from the flat tops of styrofoam egg cartons (just rubber cement some saran wrap over the two holes in the lid) and with the addition of a soda straw and make shift sail and you had a rockin boat. Of course, in typical "boy tradition," most of ours ended up getting shot to pieces by bb guns, or set ablaze by dripping milk jug bombs - light plastic milk jugs with cigarette lighters and you get some really neat "drippy flamey napalmy-like" drops of melted platsic that are guaranteed to leave scars...

He'll be proud. Cool idea, Dave.

Yeah, some of the things are made by MIT engineers, but the brilliant but simple-to-build projects are always the biggest hits. Great creation. I'm going to make my own this week.
