Toppling Stuff Is Always Fun

The first time they showed dominoes toppling on TV, I was immediately interested. How it works is dominoes are placed next to each other on their edge in patterns and then the first one is toppled. This causes a chain reaction that topples all the other dominoes in a nice effect.

See this video for a huge domino course:

In my grandparents town (when I was younger) we were bored in the afternoons since it was too hot to play outside. So we used to set up cards to topple inside the house, making them go over bridges (make of planks and books) and under houses (of cards). It took forever to set up and a slight gust of air would ruin the arrangement but the final effect was always worth it. Sometimes we split up sections so that even if one started prematurely the entire system wouldn’t get ruined.

You don’t need an electronic device to keep yourself entertained. All you need are some friends and your imagination.

    Marbles, tops, and wooden bricks. That was all I needed to be God.

    The background music was good. I didn’t know why he arranged everything… Useless fellow. Rather he could have used Ragha Tricks.

    And how exactly would using ‘Ragha Tricks’ help him?
