So, once upon a time, there was a man-made nuclear reactor. The first man-made nuclear reactor. It was basically a hunk of uranium encased in graphite encased in lead. Everyone was understandably nervous about what would happen when it reached critical mass, 'cause nobody knew what would happen. So what did they do? They suspended a control rod over it with a rope, then gave a grad student (look at his face!) an honest-to-god AXE and told him, if things got bad, to cut the rope and run for his life.
Nowadays, the machinery to raise and lower the rod is still called the SCRAM.

(Once again, I've changed my mind. I'm submitting this one as my 365 for yesterday. I'm sure this is against the rules, but when I'm that messy and that beat up, a photo of it feels terrible. Not until I've been showered and am in some clean clothes can I see the shot without feeling the grime.)
