What to remember
On October 14, 2007, at the State Fair of Texas, Bryan Berg finished a house of cards 7.860 m tall. He built it as a skyscraper, and it is the tallest ever built.
In American units it stands 25 feet 9 and 7/16 inches. Like any house of cards, it is made of playing cards stacked on top of each other, often in a pyramid shape. Since 1645, the phrase has also described a structure or argument built on a shaky foundation.
