As fun as the Woody Allen movie.

Do you have any links to whatever your talking about, or maybe a
little more of a description?

Nick Bottom, a stage-struck weaver, is spotted by Puck, who transforms
his head into that of an ass (donkey).

Not unless you can download the Allen movie and _East of Eden_.

The movie came flooding back with the electric tractor discussion.

There's just something about kinematics in the summer on a farm that
attracts / distracts guys like nothing else. That explains why there
are so many funky looking farm impliments.

Writers and women chuckle at it. Small children love it.

What's even funnier is a lot of contraptions are still in use and seem
to work reliably.

I may suffer from this tendency more than anyone. Even a gate latch
will sear itself in my mind more than any text or face or music.

Wow!

Then a mousetrap must really boggle your mind and leave you dazed and
confused.
