The EW Skinny

The Evolving Word is designed for three purposes: miscellaneous rambling (a token gesture, as there are a million sites designed for this), my creative publishing, and thoughts and news on words -- origins, differences, anomalies, etc.

Enjoy it, or not; comment, or not; but do not ignore it. Or ignore it. Whatever.

606 Takes...605 People Gone Insane
Posted on Monday, April 14 @ 03:57 PM PST by joel

The video below is really quite amazing. You may have already seen it on television. If you haven't, odds are that you will. Either way, you will be amazed. Not just by what you see with your eyes, but that fact that it took 606 takes to get it right.

And yes, those tires are really rolling uphill.

This is quite truly a Rube Goldberg device if I have ever seen one. Ingenious in its complexity, simple in its concept, very few commercials warrant the repeat viewings that this one does. Enjoy.

My Blog Code: B2 d t+ k- s u-- f- i o+ x-- e- l- c-- This site is mine. All of the thoughts here are mine. If you steal anything, you are stealing from me. I really don't like people who steal from me. If I find out that this is happening, I will hunt you down and generally indicate my displeasure in various, probably non-threatening, ways. You really don't want to see that. You can syndicate our news using the file backend.php or ultramode.txt. If you don't know what this means, you probably shouldn't be reading this stuff.
