If I could ride a YouTube clip..........
Forget flarn, this is what the net was invented for, sharing stuff like this:
I think its a male thing, women aren't impressed with this stuff. Sure look at darts and snooker. The above clip is from a Japanese programme who's name as far as I can make out is Pitagora switch(i). These machines were pioneered by a crazy cartoonist called Rube Goldberg. Remember the start of Pee Wee's big adventure? Classic shit. I've always loved domino rallies.
---------------------------------------------------
UPDATE:
just found out that the show is called Pythagorean Switch and here's a 4 minute clip from it. Stick with it, those two lads heave some great moves.
Again the standard of Japanese television is proved superior. Forget fly fishing, when I retire I'll be out in the shed with a box of K-nex and a few marbles.

That first clip is hypnotic...
......yeah, some move.
Yeah, the fancy set ups are entertaining, but what sells it for me is the backround music and that catchy jingle. I'm gonna be humming that for days!
Bob sez: Ah its great, I spent an hour today in work trying to set one up with an apple and loads of pens. Waste of time, could have been getting some on the job upskirts. Like the way I worked in that I can read japanese? Slick bastard
Fantastic stuff! However, I'm going to argue with you about who did this kind of stuff first. I'm sure W Heath Robinson did this kind of thing way back...
Yeah its fascinating, hypnotic especially but no wonder the japs have small todgers. Thats all im saying.
Bob Sez: Yeah WH Robinson technically started this messing but Goldberg was way better, I'll take any opportunity to rewrite history with a zionist flavah.
