And as it turned out,... North Korea came up a two men short for the longest human dominoe string with 46.789 men, that stretch over 28 miles.... when they needed 46,790 men to tie and 46791 to break the record and take It place in the Guiness world records books...

the State organizer of this event 'Long Duc Dong', could not be reached for comment..., no one seems to know where he went...

I don't know what all the fuss is about, at least they are being safe.

Zoom in and you see they are all tied off.

That should be Osha approved, right?

Manager: "So explain to me how this tells us the depth of the lake."

Foreman: "Each worker is on a pair of stilts that are exactly six feet taller than the ones preceding him. They all start walking into the lake in order. The ones we lose sight of are tallied, multiplied by six, and voila! We know the depth."

Manager: "Don't we lose a lot of the lower rung workers that way?"

Foreman: "Isn't that always the case?"

It is amazing what you can accomplish with plenty of cheap, uneducated laborers and no safety regulations. It's a Neocon wet dream.

"So tell me how TLP(Three Little Pigs) Contractors are always able to have the low bid."

"Well, as you can see, the first third of the project is built of brick, the second third they are working on now is made of sticks, and the final third will be straw..."
