Look! Rube Goldberg Rain Drainage System

Just had to share this amazing rain drainage system that evokes memories of those amusing Tom and Jerry cartoon Rube Goldberg mousetraps. We'd welcome rainstorms with a bit more enthusiasm if we had this on the exterior of our building.

A little too postmodern for my liking... although it would be fun if it did something Rube Goldberg-ish, like turn a waterwheel or activate some animated sculpture.

I'd love to see that operating in a rainstorm.
