murakoziIs it just me, or does anyone else, upon walking past a fire alarm pull in a hallway, fantasize about pulling it? They just seem to beg to be pulled.
Maybe it's because it's similar to having a big shiny red button that says "Do Not Push." You just wanna do it to see what'll happen. Of course, in the case of the fire alarm, I know what'll happen. Then again, maybe it's because it's kinda like pulling the lever on a slot machine, except that you have a 100% probability of making lots of bells and lights go off.
