Nov. 18 - Millions of dominoes knocked down for a new world record. The World Domino Toppling record attempt has become something of a tradition. The first time it was tried, in 1988, competitors toppled 1,382,101 dominoes, and established a new World Record. Hundreds of colourful figures, pictures, and even a "domino city" fell in the attempt. While some didn't quite go down as planned, the crowd was ecstatic as the final dominoes tumbled to create a new world record of 4,079,381.
