Yes, and putting everyone in jail serves the real economy by creating jobs building jails. And if we researched ways to torture people, the economy for grails and iron maidens will double maybe triple overnight! ...Just because HFT serves

A few months back, someone posted this online remake (in Javascript!) of Impossible Machine. It's quite accurate. I spent many hours with the original and beat it several times: http://impossible-mission.krissz.hu/
