I'll never use an oscilloscope again

While looking at an oscilloscope, a human-like figure appeared on the screen. It was an alien from another planet, teleported to Earth. Good grief, I always thought oscilloscopes were only supposed to show wave forms..... Then the figure came out of the oscope and began attacking and killing people and destroying things.... (televisation) This is some real scary shit...... [as I pull a blanket over my head] Damn,,,,, I never knew oscilloscopes were this dangerous..... Seen only on "The Outer Limits". There is nothing wrong with your computer. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. We can change your operating system in the blink of an eye. For the next hour sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your computer. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the mind of the internet, to... The Outer Limits. This show from 1963. Called "The_Galaxy_Being". Takes place at Radio Station KVKVI. I get the biggest laugh out of that show and how they used all the electronic stuff from that time to scare the crap out of people... We now return control of your computer to you...... (Until next week). Followup Action: To be safe, I just unplugged my oscilloscope, so it cant turn itself on......... But should I put electrical tape on the power cord prongs too? Nah, I think I'll just take the scope to the garage and shut off all the breakers in the garage.....

Never piss off an Engineer! They don't get mad. They don't get even. They go for over unity! ;-)
