Judging from Pablos expression he did use glue, but not on the cards.

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!

Indeed. Man, I can't stop laughing !

Hello people. I am building a 20-floors high card house as we speak. To celebrate this happy occasion, I shall arrange a contest.

How to destroy a 20-floors-high card house?

That, my friends, is up to you! I shall pick the best out of all ideas and execute it! (That, of course, if I manage to build the thing.)

Deadline: SOON! (Today)

Catapult!

Khris · Thu 06/09/2007 14:26:48

Haha, it's like a thread about whether the moon landing was a hoax (which of course it wasn't).
"Look, the shadow couldn't possibly look like that!"

Oliwerko · Thu 06/09/2007 14:32:50

Good idea with that catapult, you can try to throw balls to the holes between the cards:
"how many balls can you throw through a 20-floor card house with a catapult without damaging it ?"

You can even set up your new record in it!

I personally would hit it with something BIG to get instant destruction. Like bowling ball, or football, basketball. Anything like that. Bowling ball rules, but you haven't that home, have you ?

Tuomas · Thu 06/09/2007 14:37:09

Ok, my turn. Set it on fire! that would make awesome destruction material. And would look cool!

Stupot · Thu 06/09/2007 14:41:32

yeh it has to involve fire....
soak all the cards in white spirit first then just light the bottom one and watch it bark.

Woof!

MrColossal · Thu 06/09/2007 14:58:00

Fire won't be as impressive as you imagine I don't think. The fire will start and all the warm air will push the other cards around and it'll just fall down and kind of burn.

Oliwerko · Thu 06/09/2007 15:02:20

I assume he wants to build another one and he wants to keep the cards....

Buckethead · Thu 06/09/2007 15:14:14

Would be funny if someone trips over and ....

Very true. No fire please.

I just finished the 11th floor. Keep the suggestions coming and stay tuned!

Tuomas · Thu 06/09/2007 18:29:39

Acid? Bet you have some of that somewhere in your room.

I'd love you to drive through them with a bike or a small model of a police car. Either way.

zabnat · Thu 06/09/2007 18:31:18

Yes, fire is pretty boring. Explosions are the way to go. But be careful when manufacturing and detonating your own illegal he.

One thing could be to see how much weight your house can hold on top of it. Like coins or something.

vict0r · Thu 06/09/2007 18:36:59

Place firecrackers under the house, in the small "rooms" there!

BOYD1981 · Thu 06/09/2007 19:22:59

fart on it!

Nikolas · Thu 06/09/2007 19:29:34

If you wet the cards with alcohol, then everything will catch fire pretty quickly I reckon. Especially if you try and set fire at the same time in 4 different places at the same time! It would look amazing I reckon!

I do that every time I build a card house. I try different styles of houses and I try to beat my weight record.

Ubel · Thu 06/09/2007 20:04:20

I managed to finish the 15th floor. And then it fell apart. It was leaning too much forwards. :'(

Here's some documentary: http://www.yadapops.com/temporary/Cardhouse.mpg (Thanks to Petteri for hosting.)

Edit: I will try this another day again though.

Edit2: Oh, and this is what it looked like before it crashed. Beautiful, isn't she?
