There is a fantastic bit in one of Terry Pratchett's books:

"Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry."

I was at Home Depot in the checkout line and they had some construction going on. Hanging down from the ceiling by wires was a red button. I was compelled, I could not avoid it. I pushed the red button. A loud buzzing noise occurred. The cashier sighed and said that I was the sixth guy to do that, not a single woman had pressed the button so far.
