The Death Star
Karen was just telling me that she took over this room from a guy named Chad who left for MIT to work on his Master's degree, and that he's an inventor who created some cool holographic technology. And then, I kid you not, we fire up the computer to look up Joannie's flight, and I come across this post in Metafilter while goofing around.
It's that technology from Star Wars, used by the rebels to project stolen plans to the Death Star, lighting the inevitable path to the unprotected, vulnerable core, which, once destroyed, leads to a cataclysmic chain of events in which the entire structure erupts in a massive explosion (a Star Wars trope, so to speak, featured in Star Wars, Return of the Jedi, and The Phantom Menace).
What a co-inky-dink!
