i was just going to post this ... but this video caught my attention ...

awesome domino setup though!!

ah! our insect minds are connected

according to the comments on the Meta page, these are set up each year by Dutch students. Every year thy add a little more to the display

lots of records here...

are the edits because things were happening at the same time in different rooms?

I'm not sure. I did more reading and found out there are actually FOUR million dominoes. I'm guessing it would take too long to watch all of them fall at once.

Interesting.

I hear ya buggy, substituted a less choppy version...

Would be nice to see the whole thing. Incredible though, I wonder how long it took long.

Insect power!

Endemol, who produces this event/show ("domino day") also sold the concept to other countries like Germany. So we also have that show once a year. DD06 has seen more than 4mio dominoes, it was a co-op event of all teams of all the other countries that have the show.

The security precausions are hilarious, they have to literally seal the whole place, no insect may get in there. In 05 they even hired a professional hunter to kill a bird that made it into the place. What followed was a huge protest, people said they would kill the guy.

This is a huge event in the Netherlands and Germany.

i saw that on channel 5! except this is better cause it dosn't have the reaaalllyy annoying voices of those douches trying to do commentory gur!
