An animated version of Thomas Jefferson’s Rube Goldberg machine to celebrate Bastille Day on Friday: (A) Thomas Jefferson pitches a baseball (B) at an American-made Colt revolver (C) which will shoot the lid off a French music box (D) and start playing “Veillons au salut de l’Empire” (E) causing Napoleon to salute (F) pulling a string tied to the lever of a 19th-century French guillotine (G) dropping the blade and striking a match (H) which ignites an Exxon Valdez oil-covered bald eagle (I) who majestically flies into the fireworks array, starting the celebration!
