Rube Goldberg machines kind of suffer for me when someone has to decide "Now it's my turn..."

Your video, The Most Amazing Rube Goldberg Machine O'All: Red Bull Kluge, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I literally witnessed a miracle because despite the fact that the train destroyed the truck, the men inside were okay and they are alive, . . .
Actually, you witnessed a driver not paying attention, and being saved by 50 odd years of safety legislation and good engineering.


Heh. I was going to say, seeing as how the actual cabin the drivers were housed in was a good five or so meters from the point of impact, this hardly seems like the appropriate time to bust out the prayer beads.

Unless, of course, one felt like worshiping the mechanical engineers. The cathedrals could operate on the Rube Goldberg Principal.

The Focus on Family predictions would be great debate fodder. Their 0 for 34 performance is a perfect example of fear-monger conservative campaign tactics. The point is that they didn't have to be correct, or even intelligent (not to name any names...) Facts are not important to the far-right. They just have to get the "rubes" to vote out of fear and hatred and they end up working for the man.

Thanks!

This is an expanded version of the same machine. It's 50% larger, and only 3-4 of the modules have been carried over from the old one.>> ^ant:

Lance Armstrong might be able to make it down the block.


This could be like a Rube Goldberg of grocery shopping.

"Need bread from corner store. Must build human powered helicopter to get there."

Sorry about the rube goldberg-esque title. I wanted my first video to be something more meaningful, but Shep's comment at the end sums up my feelings so well, I couldn't resist.
