In a similar fashion to that used last month in Gears of War 3, an enterprising Skyrim player has built a LEGO rig which lets him max out his stats the easy way.
You can see once he pans the camera around (and shushes his missus) that the elaborate setup is there just to exert pressure on the bumper so that his restoration skill can, ever so slowly, be maxed out without him having to lift a finger.
LEGO does all the work while man gets the benefits? Forget Skynet. This is the kind of stuff that will get the machines rising up to kill us all. A simple lack of credit where credit's due.
