The Button


The Button

I don't know what this anonymous button was for, but I sure as heck wanted to push it.

TheLimey has suggested that it begs for a story/stories to be written about it.

So, whaddaya got?

Is that in a bus shelter? In Chicago, the button would turn on the heat for five minutes or so at a time.

I think it has something to do with Dr. Who.

Heat, eh?

Prosaic, yet a lot more useful than something to cause a great big explosion.

If only it were a TARDIS. I'd get home a lot faster.

You are SO weird! ;)


You better show up for my "party". So, when are you sending (or posting on that website) your RSVP?

Oh, that's a Magrathean Abort Cube.

You stand in the box, push the button, and everything outside the box disappears -- reverting back to a state of nothingness as before. Essentially, erasing this model of our earth.

The instructions once said:

1. Please keep all arms and legs inside the cube.

2. Do not depress the Abort Button more than once.

3. Some dizziness and disorientation may occur.

4. If Abort Button is unintentionally depressed, please contact our customer service hotline, at zedzedalpha315.
