How could she do this to me? I’ve got lots of work to get done today, but the this busy image is mesmerizing. I think I need to sit here for an hour watching the little blue balls wander around.
wow, thanks for the link, PZ! and yes, i did post that gif specifically to distract you; i knew you’d love it!

Actually, I think the most appropriate music would be the classic ‘industrial process’ music from the old Warner Brothers cartoons (think of the one with the two chipmunks accidentally shipped off to a food processing plant).
I just wish I knew what the name it.

For that matter, what’s the name of the tune that it already is set to? I feel I should know it – I know I’ve heard it before, but never with a “this song is called…” attached. It’s not “Sabre Dance”, but it sounds like the same style…

Finest example of irreducible complexity I’ve ever seen. Take one part out and it ceases to do whatever it is it’s supposed to be doing.

Mithrandir, if I’m not mistaken, that music is from the beginning of the movie “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure.”

You’re probably thinking of “Powerhouse” by Raymond Scott. I don’t have speakers on my system, so I don’t know what’s currently playing, but my first thought was “Breakfast Machine” by Danny Elfman.

Just looked it up and I am, in fact, right. (Mind like a steel trap, I tell you! An IQ around 150 helps, too.) Go here for a [rather poor quality] sound clip:

It’s much better with music.

You know, that would look even better if I were hopped up on Sudafed.

Gah! You’ve got me at it now! You bad bad person!

Look under “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure” and play the “Finale/Breakfast Machine” clip.
dorkafork says
Yeah, Powerhouse is good, too.

I think it would look better if it featured George Bush Jr. bouncing around helplessly. Like this.

My 5-year-old was also quite amused.
Coincidence?
