Why do birds
Suddenly appear?
Everytime you are near
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Why do stars
Fall down from the sky?
Everytime you walk by
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
(*) On the day that you were born
The angels got together and decided
To create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
(**) That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Repeat (*)
Repeat (**)
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Woo... Close to you...
(Music & Lyrics Burt Bacharach and Hal David)

Until today I had never heard of Rube Goldberg. I had seen some of his comic illustrations but certainly never heard of the concept of "a Rube Goldberg machine".
Read about him and the machines here at Wikipedia and visit "the Official Rube Goldberg Web Site". Below you can watch a couple of videos of Rube Goldberg machines (via Milk and Cookies).
If you feel inspired maybe you'd like to play this game.
These photos are pretty funny and well-made. Take a look.
