Astounding Stilts!

So, over the weekend I got around to making my own stilts, courtesy of instructions provided by the Dangerously Fun website.

However, after walking around on the stilts for a bit, the bottoms start to splinter. The site recommends using tape, duct or electrical, as a remedy, which I tried. The remedy worked, though it looked a bit odd. But later, when I was in my garage...

...which looks like I ran someone over. The shoes stick out from underneath the car giving the illusion. At least I got a chuckle out of it, and I hope you do too!
