Watch as 4,345,027 dominos topple.  The Dutch set a world record Friday night with this feat.  It took two hours for all of the dominos to fall.  Wonder how long it took to set it up?

Dominos are such a big deal in the Netherlands that they gave the little game pieces their own day.  For more magic, take a look at the videos on the official Domino Day website.

    Pretty fantastic feat. Domino Day occurs each year, this year in the Netherlands. 85 school children from 13 different European countries compete. It took 8 weeks to setup 4,500,000 dominos and as you stated 4,345,027 fell. Patience, and a steady hand! I found this info on a European newsite.

    Sugar plums and Fairy tails (my substitution for any exlpetives)… can you imagine the engineering involved in planning that feat?
