Paris is Falling

I found this little bit of trivia via Good Morning America last week and thought it was “Hot” enough to pass on here. A new world record was set last week in The Netherlands when 4,345,027 dominoes set up with the greatest of precision and in intricate patterns toppled at the most recent edition of “Domino Day”.  In all, 4,500,000 dominoes were set to topple and 154973 dominoes still remained standing, but that wasn’t enough to prevent the record from being set, nor did it affect the display much at all.  The previous domino record was 4,079,381 which was set in 2006.  Reportedly, it took 8 weeks to set up the dominoes and over two hours for the tumbling of the dominoes to be completed.   The participants in the event were  85 school children from 13 European countries.   Within the intricate placing of the dominoes were portraits of PARIS HILTON and missing and reward signs for her beloved dog.  Just to show you the power of her celebrity, she was depicted with the iconic landmark elements of the Egyptian pyramids and famous personalities such as Nascar great Jeff Gordon and circus artist Salima Peippo who was hanging from ropes and set the dominoes in motion.  There were also pics of various children of all nationalities, and moving matchbox cars.  The set up  was a great collection of people and places from popular culture and their choices were very interesting to say the least.  Watch the video to see Paris revealed.
