The internet is full of strange and wonderful things on a scale we couldn't have imagined twenty years ago.
One entertaining and crafty project is One Million Giraffes – or, more accurately, 301,551 giraffes and counting.
It's a simple project which has taken off in an amazing way.
"My friend, Jørgen, doesn't believe I can collect one million giraffes by 2011. I'm gonna prove him wrong," says Ola Helland, a web designer from Norway on her site.
As well as the pictures of giraffes, Ola also writes a blog about the project, including her 'Giraffe of the day' photo – a great way to test the waters before delving in.
The only sad thing about this project is a shortage of knit and crochet giraffes! We haven't looked through all the photos (apparently we have a magazine to get out!) but so far we've only found one knit giraffe. Do let us know if you add your own – or spot any more!
