…Dominos doesn’t know left from right?

Dominos Pizza

When ordering online, Dominos makes you select a side for your toppings to go on.

Instead of just “half”, they actually make you choose “left” or “right”, which made one inquisitive blogger want to know: Will they deliver what they request?

Apparently not, as the delivered pizza was exactly opposite of what had been ordered.

Just goes to show you that you can’t count on quality anymore…

…Fatboy Slim loves dominos?

Fatboy Slim’s new music video for Champion Sound follows a domino path of CDs, tapes, records, boxes and more through a house with the eventual Rube Goldberg ending of knocking someone on the noggin. That’s hot.

…The Domino Effect is an explosive viral video?

EepyBird, the mad scientist behind the now infamous Diet Coke and Mentos video phenomenon, are at it again, this time with experiment #214, one they like to call The Domino Effect: Mix one part Rube Goldberg with one part dominos, one part Diet Coke, and one part Mentos, and you’ve got yourself one hell of a viral video concoction:

…Tim Fort’s Kinetic Art is amazing?

Dominos are cool. Rube Goldberg machines are cool. Anything that manages to combine these two must be some sort of as yet undefined uber cool. Tim Fort created this Kinetic Art piece, and it’s 6:10 of non-stop action. If anyone’s interested, he’s still looking for volunteers to clean up and sort what remains (not really, but it must have been quite a task).

…Dominos are worth their weight in gold?

Though I’m always a fan of a good dominos film, I’ve never had the patience to set up any kind of monster line myself. Someone at Dare Digital with quite a bit more waiting skill than I possess must have set up this advertisement then, because balancing 10,000 coins on their edge doesn’t sound like a fun job at all. Continuity cuts be damned, this video is a keeper.

…Teleportation may soon be possible?

Scientists/Really big Star Trek fans from Denmark managed to teleport both light and matter a whole 18 inches today, putting us one step closer to beaming around via Scotty. The experiment involved teleporting a macroscopic atomic object containing thousands of billions of atoms using light as the carrier of entanglement and plenty of other scientificy stuff that I didn’t understand, but the idea is cool regardless of anyone’s ability to understand it. Soon, Dominos will be able to promise delivery before you can hang up the phone, and I for one can’t wait to order the teleport special.
