Top Ten Off Switches

I’m not much for Top X lists, despite their obvious appeal to our primitive inborn social hierarchy circuitry—I’m evolved, I’m saying—but I’m all about switches. Thus, this “Top Ten Off Switches” list from Crave.CNET.co.uk has bypassed one set of circuitry to appeal to another. Off switches turn me on.

   I thought Data’s off switch was on his back?

   Oooooh yeah, switchpron FTW baby!!!

   I’ve always liked that jet-fighter flip-cover safety-type one myself.

   -also teeny-tiny toggle switches, Cool as well.

   Any sources for this article not on that crave.cnet site? There are apparently “games” on that site, rendering it unreachable.

   Thanks,

   Emergency!!!

   I must confess to having an “EMERGENCY SWITCH” cover plate on the light in our home office.

   Along the lines of this:
