Dominoes , always a favorite elemental for Rube Goldberg - ian twist chain reactions , are unsurprisingly the name of the game at last week ’s Domino Day in Leeuwarden , the Netherlands . That is where Robin Paul Weijers ( Mr. Domino ! ) and his helpers ( admit Dutch girls suspended on harnesses above the action like Tom Cruise steal a NOC list ) rigged up 4.5 million dominoes and then set them a - falling , foxily rendering Che Guevara , a Sarlacc pit , aSaturn Vliftoff and subsequent Apollo re - entry , and oh so much more in tumbling charge card . The tilt of records broken is impressive .
