WHO WAS RUBE GOLDBERG?
Well, he made his fame by things like this: "A Simple Pencil Sharpener"
Open window (A)
and fly kite (B).
String (C)
lifts small door (D)
allowing moths (E)
to escape and eat red flannel shirt (F).
As weight of shirt becomes less, shoe (G)
steps on switch (H)
which heats electric iron (I)
and burns hole in pants (J).
Smoke (K)
enters hole in tree (L),
smoking out opossum (M)
which jumps into basket (N),
pulling rope (O)
and lifting cage (P),
allowing woodpecker (Q)
to chew wood from pencil (R),
exposing lead.
Emergency knife (S) is always handy in case opossum or the woodpecker gets sick and can't work.
:D
There are contests at schools these days for "Rube Goldberg Machines"! Gooogle on that phrase and you'll find'em!
