Germany Sets World Record for Most Human Dominoes

Before today, I didn’t even know there was such a thing as human dominoes, but it appears events involving people falling over each other have been going on for years.

That’s right, believe it or not human domino events are among the top world record attempts. That’s probably because it doesn’t require any special skills or a lot of effort. All participants need is a mattress and a god mood.

On July 31st, a new world record was set for the most human dominoes. 769 people and their mattresses fell over each other, thus beating the old record set earlier this year, in Dubai. Back then, only 344 humandominoes were toppled.

Bryan Berg has has broken his own world record and set the new Guinness World Record Wednesday by building a giant replica of the Venetian Macau hotel and casino inside the resort in China's gambling hub.

The structure used a total of 218,792 playing cards and took 44 days to complete. Completed, it is 35 feet long, 10 feet tall, and weighs 600 pounds.

"I can't help it, I was trained as an architect and I have taken just enough structural engineering to be dangerous," said Berg, who has a master's degree from Harvard's Graduate School of Design. "When I'm in there working - figuring out how to build something - even though I'm sort of playing around with playing cards, it's really like a real construction project. Because you have to engineer every single adjacency and every support that's supporting everything above."

Berg had some close calls during construction - including several collapses.

The 1.2 million square-foot Venetian Macao Resort Hotel is the world's largest resort hotel.
