Alright, let's do it. Make sure we set it up in major cities too. DC, London, Paris, Istanbul, Shanghai, Tel Aviv, EVERYWHERE.

I think by doing this, you guys might unleash some lawsuits.. Or shall I say.. HFS?

[Terrahex]

Wait, what kind of lever, how should it look?

Now that i think about it.. calling  lawyers Elves would be more suitable.

Complete with machinery immediately behind it.

Best art project ever. Someone needs to do this, glue cloth "spikes," attach some hanging rings, and engrave "+[material] lever+" on it. Then post a note about its function. Whether it drowns kittens, drowns nobles, or drowns goblins.

I suggest building a Useless Machine.

[Urist Imiknorris]

That is beautiful. I want to build a Useless Lever.

I propose that we, as a world-wide community, start setting up seemingly random levers in public places, with things like "Kitten Grinder" & Unleash Hell" on them. Thoughts on the concept or more labels?

If you want levers that actually do something, use any of these:

I think it's the closest RL equivalent to the Dwarf Fortress levers.

There's something better, if I could remember what they're called, those "THROW THE SWITCH" mad scientist levers that are always connecting the lightening rod to the monster.

Same thing, different look.  I think you can find them in the ThinkGeek catalog, but I might be wrong.

I once found them being sold fairly cheaply in an online "Science Surplus" store. Pretty sure they have a name, and without it I can't seem to find them anywhere. (except possibly thinkgeek. I'll have to check that, thanks for the tip)

What you're thinking of is a "Knife Switch"

Very popular amongst the mad scientist set.

Anyone british could link a lever to a magma trap above the queen's chambers?

Oh boy the hammerer would so like to meet you.
