I’m intrigued by that machine. Does it have a name?

It's the overbalanced wheel, invented by French Architect Villiard De Honnecourt in about 1235, and studied extensively by Leonardo Da Vinci in the late 1400's. You can buy yours here for $98.

Comment on the seller's web page:

Sounds like the Sheeple's experience with Obama, doesn't it?

LOL—this reminds me of visitors to a Memphis museum to see an exhibit of animated dinosaurs. Many complained and wanted their money back because the dinosaurs weren’t real. I’m sure they went on to vote for 0bama.
