Legend has it that the game of dominoes was first invented by the ancient Egyptians, sometime around the time of Tutankhamen. Legend als...
Legend also has it that shortly after doing so, the ancient Egyptians discovered it was much more fun to stand all their dominoes in a long, wavy line, knock one over, and sit back and watch all the rest collapse one after the other.
They were onto something. To prove it, here's a handful of the world's best domino (and domino-inspired) chains.
Most Dominoes Toppled in a Spiral
Round and round the dominoes go, and where they stop, nobody...well, actually, it's pretty obvious where they're going to stop. Spirals are a popular shape for domino chain fans, and this particular spiral is a world record holder. Created by a German team after a snafu kept the official record just out of reach, their second spiral boasts over 30,000 multicolored dominoes. Why did they do it? Hard to say. But it's also hard not to be impressed at their dedication.
Human Mattress Dominoes
While we're on the subject of new jobs, how does being a human mattress sound? No benefits, no pay, and no prospects, but you basically get to laze around in bed all day. Here are 850 of the world's top human mattresses in action in New Orleans, setting one of the most bizarre world records we've ever seen. And what do you do with 850 lightly-used, once-toppled mattresses? Donated by the Simmons Bedding Company, these were generously passed on to local homeless charities.
