This really is a special kind of creative genius. Absolutely amazing.
But I'd piss myself if the very last thing was something dead simple like a domino falling or something and it failed!

Awesome! I love these things!
There are a lot of Rube Goldberg societies. People who get together to make these things for fun.
There is an island in the 1000 Island lake in Ontario that is dedicated to it.

Haha! That's amazing!

I love the idea of someone's wife or mum coming home and saying "What have you been up to while I've- oh dear..."!

They've probably built another one that locks the door!

Wow.

It really frustrates me that I can't see exactly what happens at every stage though.

:( I think I just made my dad all sentimental.

May I ask how?

Talking to him about if him and mum had wanted more kids and things.

Oh dear God. Why would you do such a thing?

*shrugs* I can't remember why now...Oh! We were talking about not liking parents. :P

I asked my dad about that once!
Shouldn't have. :/

My parents wanted 3 of us, apparently.

Did Andy put them off...
