Phenomenon: the red button, a tantalizing thing to press. Description: shiny, candy apple red, round, usually set into some sort of surface. Explanation: if you stick a person and a shiny red button in a room, they are more than likely to come in contact sooner or later. Humans are attracted to red buttons, partly out of curiosity and partly because they want to take a risk. The shiny red button holds a sense of mystery for the will-be-pressing person. It has to be pressed. Shiny red buttons could either kill you, erase you, destroy the universe, send you across the galaxy, change your personality, or make you a very happy carbon based life form. Shiny red buttons are just plain irresistible to anyone that may come across one and will eventually get pressed.
