Wooden Table Perfection

http://eee.asus.com/eeepad/transformer-prime/features/
It starts with a wooden table... although there are two ambiguous people posing above it so it seems to be vertical--like paneling?--and yet there are things that appear to be sitting on the table (i.e., a soda can viewed from above). Also, things flying towards it... wooden billboard?
If you open it in IE (default here at work) it's like a nightmare graphic design test project: a little bit of everything thrown in, accented by stickers with turned up corners. But open it in a browser that supports it and scroll slowly and you'll see that it's somoene's script test project as well. Things fly over and into the table/panel/billboard. Desktop items inexplicably cuddle up to each other. The wood becomes nebulae. Blurry confetti attacks!
Fearing for my sanity, I check View Source...

I actually kind of like that site. Scrolling down is a bit freaky, I guess. I don't get the significance in the wood background fading away when it reaches the "multimedia" section...
-
Rule of Cool applied to web design? Anyway, not really a WTF in my opinion. If the scrolling wasn't so sluggish here I think that would be a very neat effect.
Still, the class name made me chuckle.

The performance is too bad on my work PC to make sense of it. I was getting about 2 fps on that web page.

Interesting. I had no idea Smarts moved along by sliding across the ground, instead of rotating their wheels like real cars.
-
This is actually the kind of thing that once in a while I'd like my designer to toss at me with a smirk, as if to say "What now, bitch? Can you code THIS?" and then I'd be all, Challenge accepted!

The similarities with shopping carts don't end there!

Yep. But then when you finish, you realize that you've released a monster upon the world, and have to hunt it down and kill it before others are harmed.

Crazy, I know. Don't know what they'd want to store.

Stuff that won't fit in the car, obviously.

A microscopic portion of the thin film of ferromagnetic material on my HD's platters does not fit in a Smart?
Damn, those are some tiny cars.

I like these type of sites. Pushing the boundaries of technology. This was one of the first I found - fancy site for a cheap smartphone!
