"This video of a fabulous Rube Goldberg-like contraption that produces catchy, mellow music by continuously shooting ***** at various percussion instruments is, as usual, a clip removed from the context of its original source and sent winging around the Internet accompanied by a fictitious explanation of its origins. The device depicted in this video does not exist, at the University of Iowa or anywhere else."
