Rube Goldberg Invention Convention

Rube Goldberg Invention Convention: "Rube Goldberg was an artist, inventor, engineer, author and sculptor. He is best known for his comical drawings of crazy contraptions and inventions. His artwork appeared in newspapers throughout the United States from the early 1900's to the 1960's. Today, the term Rube Goldberg is used to signify anything done in an overly compicated or round-about manner." [Link via something I saw yesterday. What was that? I guess I should've written it down or something. I'm so busy lately. And disorganized. I wish I had a robot assistant. Yes, that would be cool.]
