It's definitely amazing, but I think they wasted their time. In a world of Matrix-style effects, nobody is really floored by viewing this type of thing. It's a curiosity, to be sure, but they could have faked it and most people would have still thought it was "neat".

I've got one little problem - with the tires. The first tire hits the second, smaller tire and that tire rolls forward (uphill) and hits another tire. Then the second, smaller tire rolls backward. As the camera pans to the right, you can see that the second tire rolls forward, uphill AGAIN. How did that happen? Shouldn't it have hit the third tire and rolled back down the ramp, instead of rolling uphill again?

It's interesting. Unfortunately, I think I must be too Old and too female to 'get it'. Somebody has way too much time on their hands. I wish they'd come to my house to cut the lawn.

Now that is cool.
From the story:
and from the wacky engineering of Caractacus Potts's breakfast-making machine in the Sixties film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
My son always wanted to crack eggs like they do in that movie!

A couple of things bother me about this video - 1) The lighting is perfect (almost too perfect). The small alcoves that hold the lights repeat going down the room, which would make an unusual room. 2) The separation in the boards on the floor seem to have a repeating pattern and a low probabilty of actually occurring.
At first I thought the video was real as described. Now I am not so sure.

Although it would have been much easier to fiddle the chain of events by using computer graphics, the seesaw and shunt of events really did happen, and in one, clean take. Brilliant. Do it the expensive way "just because".

Honda takes pride in producing cars people want to buy and it shows in the commercials they make to sell the cars. Actually I suspect word of mouth alone would be enough to allow Honda to turn a profit even without its cool new commercial. People just can't seem to find a disparaging word for them. In an industry where customer satisfaction is everything, Honda has gone out its way to keep its customers coming back. The rest of the automotive industry could take lessons from them in building and delivering on quality products and outstanding customer service.
