Roaches scupper domino record attempt
August 12, 2003Posted by Vanderleun at August 12, 2003 1:05 PM | TrackBackA Beijing woman who is attempting to break the record for the world's biggest solo domino topple has seen her efforts scuppered by marauding cockroaches.
Ma Lihua says the insects have knocked down thousands of domino tiles that have been carefully set up over the last six weeks in preparation for next week's attempt.
The 24-year-old said that one bug knocked over 10,000 tiles - which had taken a day to set up - and is fearful that cockroaches could wreak more havoc before the attempt, being staged at Singapore's Expo hall, takes place on Monday.
