Non Death-Ray is REAL

[Phil]

Pah! Who the hell is scared of a NON-Death-Ray, I ask you? Would Flash Gordon have wilted before Emperor Ming's NON-Death-Ray? I don't think so! "Where's the power-out? I was expecting an Earth-shattering power-out!" "QUIVER before the power of my massive TV-B-GONE!!!"

Nah. I said, "Pah!" and I meant it.

It's funny that all the computers used CRT monitors... how long ago was this done??  Also, the monitor foreground-right did NOT go out permanently.

Even if the "device" took out AC power and the camera was running on batteries, the overhead lighting should have blinked out.  I wonder if most/all the CRTs were plugged into a power strip, and someone unplugged that strip.

Also, watch the back-center-right computer, it seems to eject a CD violently at the same time.  How can the computer eject something if it's brain dead?  So, if this is an accurate representation, your computer is safe, just your monitor is in danger...
