    Pythagoras Switch is a Japanerse childrens' program. They seem to do fun things, and youtube is loaded with fragments. A number of the Rube Goldberg contraptions from the Lauf der Dinge discussion are from this show.

    I just saw one called Algorithm dance, it's quite long (in internet terms at least, 6.5 min) so you can just watch this two minute part of it which has the Algorithm March, with ninjas.

    If you want to see more, just search youtube for "Pitagora Suicchi" or "pythagoras switch". One of the weirder things was the 967 inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines doing the Algorithm March.

    That'd make you regret smuggling drugs. Bonkers.

    Pitagora Suicchi rocks my socks, and I believe Dattebayo releases episodes of it (.avi ~150mb) from time to time.

    Seen it before, but it's still as mesmerizing. I love Rube Goldberg contraptions.

    Oh, I see what you did there.

    Seems the Algorithm March isn't the only thing the inmates are dancing: Michael jackson's Thriller, Queen's Radio Gaga.

    Not really a real Rube Goldberg thingie, but inspired by them....
