Quake3World

bit of an anti-climax, but it does have stuff on fire:

It's not a proper Heath Robinson contraption cause it uses candles which are already lit.
Those bits could be skipped, though, so the rest holds up to scrutiny.

Also, it's not really a Heath Robinson contraption cause it doesn't do anything at the end.

Also, how can that be the new YouTube when it doesn't do fullscreen properly? (It squashes the picture).
Also, that site has a crap name, unlike YouTube.

it's not called a heath robinson machine. heath robinson machines are different. They usually have a perpose, like perpetually feeding someone. heath robinson was an illustrator.

What you mean is a Rube Goldberg machine

Wikipedia says that they mean the same thing, or "simmilar", as they put it. It says that Rube Goldberg was an illustrator aswell. The only difference apparently is a Rube Goldberg machine can mean an overly complicated system of any kind. That and Heat Robinson did his illustrations decades earlier.
