If you google Rube Goldberg and Heath Robinson separately, you get a huge
number of sites for each. Google both names and you still get over 8,000
sites which mention them both.
Some of the complicated machines to perform simple tasks have to be seen to
be believed.

Hmmmm... sounds like a "Rube Goldberg" to me... I'd love to find a
website devoted to each (both?) of them!!
Off to spend the week with my DD and her family... They have just lost
a wonderful and beloved matriarch (husband's grandmother), and I'm going
up to keep grandsons while their parents are involved in whatever....
So... this may be my last posting of the week.
