A cool video (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6176491654107670145) I found of Rube Goldberg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rube_Goldberg) machines, or as they're known in Japanese, Pythagorean Switches (ピタゴラスイッチ Pitagora Suicchi)

I posted a link to the first video you posted a week ago.

The dinner one's pretty cool though.
