An artist back in the early 1900’s used to draw these complex contraptions to perform simple tasks… like buttering bread and an alarm clock, etc. A self wiping napkin: ![http://www.anl.gov/Careers/Education/rube/Images/rube_napkin.gif](http://www.anl.gov/Careers/Education/rube/Images/rube_napkin.gif) As a kid i was always interested in his way of thinking. Anyway, thats what this video reminds me of. Pretty cool.
