This is pretty cool. I don't think I have the patience or ingenuity to build something like this, but it's cool to look at. If it's a repost, bite me, I searched.

Crap. I searched for marble, Japanese, chain reaction, and annoying jingle.

They are called Rube Goldberg machines.

Ahh! Ok. Now I'm pissing my officemate off because he has this jingle stuck in his head.

I found out what that jingle is. They are saying "pitagora souchi" which is apparently the Japanese term for these devices.
