Thing # 20:YouTube,TeacherTube and Zamzar

I was very excited to see this "Thing" about embedding videos because I tried to use a YouTube video last year on Rube Goldberg and was unable to do so. Hopefully this time it will be succesfull. This is a video about Rube Goldberg contraptions built by high school physics students. There is also a world wide Rube Goldberg contest every year. The basic concept is to show students how the use of simple machines to accomplish a very simple task can be done in a very complicated manner.

The number of sources to search for videos is incredible, and of course when you go to view one, you see other related videos you may not have thought of that can be useful. The well seems bottomless. The following is a Honda coommercial that is a great example of using the Rube Goldberg technique.



I was able to embed the video, but it will not play continuously. Any advice?!
