I was messing around at work and came up with an idea. I started rolling the page from one corner, really tight. When it was about four paper widths thick I cut it off along the diagonal. This left me with a cylinder. I did the same thing from the other corners and then towards the middle of the paper. This gave me an s-load of cylinders ranging from a couple of inches in length to many inches in length. I took 5 of the medium sized ones to use as "legs" to hold the rest of them up. I then began putting all the cylinders together into a single column. The legs got attached to the column and my desk with tape. The cylinders fit together snugly enough that they didn't need any tape. The finished product kind of looked like a rocket with 5 legs sticking out the bottom holding it up. I didn't have a ruler but it was as tall as 4 sheets of paper (at least 44").
