Toothpick sculpture of San Francisco - by Scott Weaver

"What can you do with toothpicks and glue? See Scott Weaver's toothpick art at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, and you'll be asking what can't be done. In 1968, at age 8, Weaver glued toothpicks into an abstract object for a class assignment. That toothpick art sculpture was the beginning of a hobby-turned-obsession. It has culminated in a phenomenon the size of a garage door that is both a labyrinth and a detailed rendering of iconic San Francisco--made entirely of toothpicks and Elmer's. You have to see it in action to believe it, and it's at the Exploratorium through June 18, 2011." -from About.com

Also, depending on where you drop a ping-pong ball, it will roll throughout the sculpture taking unique routes.
