: Has anybody tried building a kayak of popsicle sticks? Robert McDonald of

Hi Henk,
Nice article, good to see. It's as long as an 18-wheeler. But one question, How long IS an 18-wheeler? Inches, feet, metres, I don't mind. But I've never measured anything in 18-wheelers, football pitches or tall buildings. :)
