Backpacker collects one million giraffe pictures, wins bet

    Ola Helland, a 25-year-old web designer, became involved in the bet after an offhand comment while out drinking with a friend.

    His friend, Jørgen, refused to believe that Helland could collect one million giraffes by the end of 2010, but Ola has proved him wrong.

    I think its a publicity stunt to get people to go to his website, a smart one too. Anybody can photograph a banana, I would have done it in half the time. :)

    Not many people know, that the plural for Giraffe is Giraves.

    This reminds me of Dave Gorman's "Are you Dave Gorman?" Why can't my nights of drinking end in a worldwide adventure? Usually it just ends up outside Supermacs in Eyre Square, Galway.
