Me to, procrastination. It was my wife's idea.

This reminds me a little too much of Portal 2 when you start finding the wall panels, jump launchers and laser panels making little songs to themselves.

AWESOMECREEPY.

If I had access to a giant Tesla coil, making it play the Imperial March is absolutely the first thing I would do with it (after cackling maniacally for an hour or two). It's like the "Hello World!" of hardware noise.

Here's how to do it on a Thing-O-Matic.

The nerd is strong with this one. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

Third thing.

The first thing you do is cook a hot dog or other piece of defenseless meat.

The second thing is configure it to play the Doctor Who theme. Really. Not optional.

After that, yeah, Imperial March.

Then: Space:1999 theme.

Season One or Season Two?

Choose carefully.

Season 1. It's got the funky bass line groovin' along.

Only Hitler-loving, cut-the-sandwich-into-rectangles-instead-of-triangles people would favor the Season 2 theme.

Oh, that was great. I don't know why but I just have a huge smile on my face now. Brilliant.

Lightning arcs out from the Tesla coil and strikes, but ROU_Xenophobe is spared because he's standing on the correctly grounded side of the room.
