Just like plopping the kids down in front of the tube with a video - it keeps poochie happy!! Take a look at that waggin' tail on the wiener dog!

A full-sized Viking ship made from recycled ice-cream sticks will set sail for England from the Netherlands on Tuesday. The 50-foot long ship, named after the Norse god Thor, is made from 15 million recycled ice-cream sticks glued together by American stuntman Robert McDonald, his son and more than 5,000 children. Robert said, “If you can dream it you can do it. I want to teach children that anything is possible.” Robert was badly injured as a child in a gas explosion that killed the rest of his family, and he has loaded his ship with stuffed animals with plans to reach London and visit children in hospitals. He and his crew hope to cross the Atlantic later on the ancient Viking route to North America via Iceland and Greenland.
