Something my dad sent me.

It was enjoyable...

Kind of laughed at the end.

Awesome! It reminds me of the Honda comercial a while back... Where can I get that magnetic chess set? I assume he didn't make it?

Arrg. I can't see it. By the URL, it looks to be a flash video or something. Until I get home, can someone explain briefly what it is supposed to be?

Must be so tedious.
One little mistake and down goes your project. :O

Oh, and if you see in the video, he uses the infamous DUCT TAPE :]

For anyone who likes this kind of thing, and is near Indiana, Purdue's annual Rube Goldberg competition is a can't-miss event. Has to be seen live to appreciate it!
