Rube Goldberg stuff is pretty sweet. Our college took nationals in the Rube Goldberg Challenge. (Yeah I have never heard of the competition either)

But it was cool, I watched it run a couple times. It has 345 steps. We beat out colleges like Purdue University, University of Texas, Texas A&M, Penn State, University of Cincinnati. I'm sure there is a vid floating around someplace.

I always love to watch those. You guys like the massive amount of black duct tape was used?

Ever see the euro honda accord (tsx station wagon) commercial that's like that? I'd post the link, but the "repost notifiers" would come get me.
