Reverse The Polarity

[den]

Real Life reverses the polarity!

Have I ever mentioned how silly I think reversing the polarity is?

Take that, polarity!

Ooooohhhhhh...

Bounce the graviton particle beam
Off the main deflector dish!
That's the way we do things, boys,
We're makin' shit up as we wish!
The Klingons and the Romulans
Hold no threat to us:
Whenever we find
We're in a bind,
We just make some shit up!

Oh, I know what you mean. "Reverse the polarity." Yeah, makes about as much sense as "crossing the beams" or "rerouting the phase-couplers."

I mean come on, Greg Dean, don't you realize you can't go from time-displacement to space-displacement by reversing the polarity? Sheesh.

You've got to realign the displacement axis, dink. Sheesh. (grin)

"Reverse the polarity..."

Star Trek stole it from Dr Who, who at one point was heard to exclaim "Reverse the Polarity of the Neutron Flow!" :)

...*searches through Calvin and Hobbes archives*
In the book Scientific Progress Goes 'Boink', Calvin is attached to the ceiling (an idea which still appeals to me today) and blames it on his 'personal gravity reversing polarity'. Which I never thought about too hard until now.
