It's International Domino Day in Leeuwarden today...
They've been tipping over domino pieces for the last hour...and of course - "don't forget the commercial breaks!" What they did was to put in pendulums, that the poor domino pieces would start every ½ hour, so the pendulum could swing until it found rest...and the tip over another domino pieces in the middle 10 min. later - I find that funny!
Since it's not legal to have commercial breaks in the middle of programs in Denmark, we normally get to see some still instead (f.ex. the outside of the Shrine during The Academy Awards). I then wonder if Denmark watched the pendulum all 10 minutes?! I wonder it at all was broadcasted in Denmark?!

I later found out that it is world wide live transmitted to most countries....! Did you see it?!
