Just blows my mind ... I'm looking at the full-size image of it and it's still not clear how it works. That guy is a genius.

It's still an extremely tight hack if I do say so myself, and I'm very glad he used rubber bands. I don't even WANT to know what that guy does for a day job (my money's on postal worker or military contractor).

Wow. Uhm, my husband is an engineer and it took him several hours to build this single rubberband model.



I thought it was kind of neat, but it looks pretty sorry compared to that monster.

As tight as that is, I'd advise reviewing Da Rules in more detail before posting again.

She's fine.  Thread necromancy is permitted if the post that revives it is an actual content-containing post that adds significantly to the conversation (i.e., something other than "I agree" or "lol thats dubm").
