The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsWe Meet Again, Sparrow
It seems a sparrow in the Netherlands went on a flying frenzy when it flew into a building and knocked down 23,000 dominoes that were being used to break a world record.
The bird was shot by an exterminator after it nearly wiped out the entire project.
I'll bet those dominoes presenters were p*ssed. They were likely jumping for the phone to get an exterminator in there. I wouldn't even doubt if they called out upon the bird being shot, "see you in h*ll, sparrow".
I decided to do a little research on dominoes and weird domino activities.
I found that they have domino stacking world records. Take a look at this picture, and that's not using any adhesive.
There are some pictures of Domino Day here.
I just thought to myself as I researched, why do people trifle with building domino projects, it seems like such a dull hobby, but then I shut that thought up when I realised I was wasting my time researching on it.

This may be a weird question, but why did they have to call an "Exterminator" for a bird?

von - because chucking dominoes at the bird wouldn't kill it, just knock it senseless, lol. In other words, I don't know.

I posted a few hours ago that there may be a funeral for the fowl in the next little while while also noting that there's a great marketing opening for Wal-Mart in the whole debacle.
