"Jacob's Ladder", the Toy - Junk or Genius?

[Kire]

Based on the biblical story of Jacob (Abraham's grandson), who dreamed he saw angels walking up and down a ladder between Heaven and Earth. With this classic wooden toy (aptly named Jacob's Ladder), kids can create the illusion that a block is traveling down a ladder of wood and ribbon.
