| Stanley Hayes Munro with his world record winning sculpture of Burj Khalifa |
Stanley Hayes Munro, 45, from Syracuse, New York, is a toothpick engineer. The former haunted house designer built his first sculpture in school when tasked with creating a structure that could hold the weight of an egg. Now, he has won the world record for the tallest toothpick structure with a mammoth sculpture of the Burj Kahlifa, Dubai. For Stanley though, he has always been more concerned with the integrity of his work - structural integrity that is.
Stanley said: "I've never cared for counting toothpicks, wasting toothpicks, or any obsession about the number of toothpicks used in any construction.
"But an engineering problem where you've got to create a strong structure, now that's a problem worth solving."
