Super Cool Bra by Triumph International Japan
Switzerland-based lingerie maker Triumph International presented a concept bra dubbed the 'Super Cool Bra' at company headquarters in Tokyo last week with cups made of plastic sleeves which hold gel packs. Models Ayana Kaneda (left) and Misaki Tanabe showcased the bras during a company press conference on May 9, 2012, which attracted international attention. Users of the bra are supposed to freeze the gel packs and then insert them into the plastic bra sleeves to keep breasts, and presumably the rest of the body, cool during the torrid summer months.

Sixty stacks containing 60,000 dominoes
Sixty stacks of dominoes numbering 60,000 total pieces takes over eight days to build but only 12 seconds to fall apart.
Published on May 11, 2012 by FlippyCat
This is my personal record for most dominoes used at once.
In this chain reaction there are 60 big dominoes each containing 990 dominos, and a small field of 600 dominoes (which says 60,000) to bring the total up to 60,000 dominoes used.
The big dominoes span about 14 feet across. It took approximately 65.5 hours to complete over 8 days. In the setup footage, the counter changes color on each day. The entire setup fell in approximately 12 seconds.
