See Honda's amazing chain-reaction ad. Really — watch it. (Flash 6 required.)

Finally, on the 606th take, the amazing assembly worked.

Maybe it's just because Shavuot is approaching, but I couldn't help but notice the significance of this number. This holiday is celebrated in part by the reading of the book of Ruth; resh-vav-taf has a gematria (numerical equivalent) of 606.

No computer effects! Read more about the filming: The Oregonian: Mechanical marvel. Also, Lights! Camera! Retake! is funny.
