Armageddon

The Emergency Power Off (EPO) switch in a data center I was in last week. Appropriately labeled, in my opinion. My favorite is actually the old-school pushbutton light switches, though. The lamp next to the switch glows red when they’re off, which makes it easy to find the switch in the dark.

Armageddon, or “Don’t Push This Button”

    Heh, that’d be funny. Well, a bright spot in a dark moment, perhaps. Literally.

    Hm, a big red button. That looks like it’s meant for pushing.

    The only thing missing is a “Do Not Push” label. ;)
