This is a 4-minute video of a massive, multi-room sized Rube Goldberg machine that culminates in the taking of a man's portrait (God, just ask a stranger!).

    This is the music video for Chicago-based OK Go's 'This Too Shall Pass', which consists of an unbelievable 3:53 long Rube Goldberg machine. You have to watch it. I mean, you don't haaave to, you'll just miss out if you don't. Then, at the water cooler tomorrow when we're all... / Continue →
