Some hyper-cool ball toys for your Christmas morning. Submitter Chris Glick in Japan explains:
"There's a Japanese kids' show called 'Pythagoras Switch,' which usually ends/ended with a Rube Goldberg device that concludes with the show's name. Nearly every device contains marbles or balls in motion as a step. The following video is about 10 minutes' worth of largely ball-heavy Rube Goldberg machines. There is no AC/DC soundtrack, however."
One of the coolest things I've seen all year. This has a quality that American TV shows generally lack -- i.e., the inspiration for kids to be mechanically creative. Nickelodeon, Noggin, etc. offer little more than pap with a twist of propaganda.

I love these things but damn, its gonna take a couple of hours worth of listening to Throbbing Gristle,Skinny Puppy and Old School Nine Inch Nails to get that little sing/song earworm out of my head.
