Awesome stone-moving device based upon a combination of simple (or perhaps complex) machines constructed of standard lumber and chain (left) by Tuck after his hardware man told him to just say no to a fancy-shmancy I-beam thing with trolley that would have cost $400 and probably not worked, and Tuck triumphant with a slain granite slab at his feet
I feel the earth move under my feet. Great granite slabs bend to the will of Tuck's Anti-Rube Goldberg Machine.

Sissy Willis at sisu puts on her psychological hat in this excellent post.
"A Rube Goldberg machine is any exceedingly complex apparatus that performs a very simple task in a very indirect and convoluted way."
I wonder if I can use that as an example/excuse for how I balance my checkbook ;)

Hey Sissy...this is Chris Smith from Cleveland. I'm listening to a radio show on blogging and decided to try to find your site, if that's what it's called. Eitherway, I'll have to come back and read some of your writings. Good to see Tuck getting at it...you need a photo ot that rock on his shoulders ie: Atlas.
