The Olympics aren’t geeky, but …this is just so full of win that I couldn’t help share it.

World Record card stacker [ Bryan Berg ] has recreated the Beijing Olympic Village using 140,000 playing cards.

Thanks to [ Diagonal View ] for posting this originally

Bryan originally made the Guiness Book of World Records by building the World’s Tallest House of Cards in 1992 at the age of seventeen, with a tower fourteen feet, six inches tall. His latest record-holding structure in the category is over twenty-five feet tall. In 2004, Guinness created a new record category for the World’s Largest House of Cards to recognize a project Berg built for Walt Disney World–a replica of Cinderella’s Castle. He continues to hold both records.

Bryan, you get to sit at the Desk of Awesome today.
