Teetering on the brink of unnecessity

For some reason, I seem to have an odd affinity for these Rube Goldberg contraptions.

But in any event, this is by far the most elaborate one I have ever gazed upon. I would recommend you watch it immediately.

Oh, really? You don’t want to? Fine. But don’t blame me when your boss fires you for looking at Lindsay Lohan in a see-through dress. (Borderline NSFW.)

It will be all YOUR fault and you’ll probably be back here again tomorrow, anyways. But this time not from your desk. It will be from your bed. Or maybe the toilet.

Case of the Mondays: Just watch this video, please

Our Bears won this weekend. Dominated, in fact. Indy played themselves a nice little game in defeating the Broncos at Mile High.

Yeah for them.

This video, dear reader, is far more important. Some dudes set up a Rube Goldberg contraption in their office and worked on it from 11 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. At the end, it knocks down some bowling pins.

When you think about all the dumb things you’ve spent way too much time on in your life, just think of two dudes in an office at 3 a.m. gleefully setting up the office fan at just an angle to keep the train moving.

You just may feel better about yourself.
