Sneaky Snails

Have you ever looked at a rolled tape measure and thought it resembled a snail? You can bet that Joseph Herscher did. He's the genius behind Joseph's Machines. Herscher rounded up a bunch of sneaky snails and rigged them with their own Rube Goldberg contraption designed to fetch a head of lettuce for dinner. Or it might be a cabbage. You may have to watch more than once, as there are plenty of magnets and springs involved, not to mention googly eyes. We hope to see these sneaky snails again! (via Boing Boing)
