In 2009 the World Record for Domino Toppling was Broken by Toppling Nearly 4.5 Million Dominoes.

Clearly some people have way too much time on their hands but it’s an incredible thing to watch.  The attempt was made at the annual ‘Domino Day’ event in the Netherlands and although part of the final section didn’t fall, 4,491,863 of the 4.8 million stones (dominoes) fell, smashing the previous record of 4,079,381 stones.

There are a total of 28 Godzilla movies to date!

And that doesn’t include Roland Emmerich’s truly abysmal 1998 remake which completely ignored the rich cultural history that the Godzilla franchise had amassed by that point.  The remake was so unpopular with die-hard Godzilla fans in fact, that in Ryuhei Kitamura’s controversial ‘Godzilla – Final Wars‘, the original Godzilla (Toho Company Ltd.) battled with the remade [...]

The voice of Megatron and Eeyore come from the same man.

The voice of Megatron and Eeyore come from the same man.

Odd as it may be, for a while at least, it was the same guy.
Peter Cullen was the voice actor for not only Megatron and Eeyore but for a very impressive list characters spanning that last 40 years of TV and film including my personal favorite, ‘Voltron: Defender of the Universe‘.  Don’t snigger, everyone loves [...]
