        Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.

          If you had a big enough needle and could drag it through the Mariana Trench it would play ‘Paul Is Dead’.

                  I'm guessing because the bricks are not allowed to fall "all the way" until the last one. And that little bit is the difference between them falling all the way down vs. catching the edge ever so slightly.

                  V. cool. Must have been super tedious to set up (probably some sort of spacer.

                    I'm guessing cinder block magic, but Xenon's guess is also valid. You just need to live your own truth when you decide who is correct.

                      @xenon When the second to last one falls, it makes sense that the space between that one and the last one is a little bit more than the space between all of the previous ones. But what makes that second to last one "jump" forward just a little bit? Would like to see this in slow motion. LOL

                          I have yet to see any scientific proof that it wasn't cinderblock magic.

                                      Side story: I knew a girl in Taiwan who worked in a pub. She was a mountain person (native tribe to Taiwan) who had darker skin, who really liked that song (Black Magic Woman).

                                      Anyway, I saw today that the guy who wrote that song just died. And his group (Fleetwood Mac) did not make it famous. It was famous by somebody else.

                                          The stupid moa bird went extinct for two clear reasons:

                                          1. It was flightless.
                                          2. It did not believe in cinder block magic. @Horace amirite
