Did you know that you can build a boat using NEWSPAPER??

Yes, you can actually do that!!!

It's scientifically proven by the Mythbusters in their new episode of Alaska special. They actually build a boat with newspaper and frozen water.

Miraculously, the material which is named PYKRETE could withstand a force of more than 500pounds. They have to whack the material a few times with a HAMMER, just to break IT!!!! After experimenting with the material they are convinced that they can build a boat using that material. Poof!!! The boat is ready to be tested on Alaska waters. And the boat is mounted with a motor and they successfully sailed the BOAT.. WOOHOO!!! but it only lasted for less than 30 minutes as the material starts to melt... (Note: They actually sailed more than 15miles/hr)
