Rube Goldberg Machines



My friend Andrea sent me this video, and in answer to her question, yes, there are machines like this on the island.  They're called Rube Goldberg machines on the mainland, but we just call them Island Machines.  They do tasks like doing laundry, washing dishes, turning pages of books, applying sunblock lotion, weeding the gardens, sharpening pencils, etc.  (sometimes we like to do that stuff by hand, too)  Doesn't it remind you of the old McGee and Me intro?
