Pythagorean Switch
 

This is such a waste of time. :P
This is a small clip of the most amazing Japan TV-show ever. It's an educational show, mostly about math I guess. Here comes the nice part. The start and end of every episode has a Rube Goldberg machine, afterwards showing a Japanese text "Pitagora Suicci", meaning Pythagorean Switch, hence the name. ;) Watch out, though: the jingle at the end is annoying.

GO. THERE. NOW.
(PS: Honda also had a commercial based on this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlMhFOwozoQ. It took 7 years to make. and is 2 min. long.)

This is cool. Reminds me of MOUSETRAP. I remember the Honda advert, I just cynically assumed they did on a computer...or something. Can't hear the sound sadly on my computer.
I do like the phrase Pythagorean Switch though. Everyone who reads this thread has to relevantly insert it into a normal conversation within a week! Or else.

It goes like this: (_ is wait 1 not)

Re Mi _ Re Mi _ HighDo Si _ _ Sol
Pi Ta Go Ra Su I tchi.

Oh yeah...
PYTHAGOREAN SWITCH. There, I said it. (Or else.)

hehe i kind of meant an audio conversation with a physically present entity.

And yeh, that jingle is dreadful.

So you mean that doesn't count?

Darn. (I just said it to my bro. There.)

good for you, you're excused.
Hang on! Was it in context?
I suppose you could just say "hey look at this Pythagorean Switch on Youtube or have you seen that....."
Bit of a get-out clause isn't it?
Wonkles!

I could.
Nah, I didn't, but it's just wednesday, so I have 4 days left till the end of the week. \o/

Oh come on. I want people to actually see this, not just me and koosie! Aren't timewasters very interesting?

(Oh man, almost end of week.) ;)
