Astonishing mechanisms
If you liked the Honda advert, then you might like some of these... the aim is to have a pointless chain of events that lead up to the display of a

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Haha ok fine you win But I'm pretty sure the Indians invented them even earlier - just look at the massive rolling ball in Temple of Doom!
