This is a video (including some stunning shots through the glass roof) of the world record for most playing cards being toppled like dominos, with a very impressive 51,725 slightly bent cards getting knocked over.

Completing a 120-star speedrun of Super Mario 64 in a single 11 hour and 22 minute sitting. Good lord. For reference, the
