Pass the Pepper

We've become familiar with Joseph's Machines being ridiculously intricate Rube Goldberg contraptions, but this one is leagues above anything he's done before. The mere act of passing the pepper becomes an adventure in chain reactions. I lost track of the actual pepper early on, but it makes an appearance later. Meanwhile, you are constantly thinking, "Wait... what?" This sequence is designed to get you to look at something fascinating that has nothing to do with the actual progress of the "pepper." You may have to back up the video at a few points. Do not miss the cooking pasta, nor the stuff that will surely be spilled on the computer. (via Metafilter)
