You know the Honda cog ad was a rip off of 2 artists work? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Way_Things_Go They successfully sued...I knew when I saw the Honda ad as I watched transfixed to the original music-less speech-less 10 minute one-shot piece.

BTW I/we call that a Heath Robinson machine, a term that predates it...I hadn't heard of Rube Goldberg until this video started popping up my feeds...

Reminds me more of Mousetrap! :-D

I love these things because they are real. You can fake a machine with computer graphics and editing, but it's never the same. The whole idea is that these things must work in real life. But to sync it up to a song like this? Awesomeness.

It's worth several replays.

Song is catchy and fun, but it is perfect for this somehow.
