Medinoc: Removed the remark about fuel in Minority Report after a short conversation with my father: It seems that in read life, cars are built with a liter or two of fuel, which allows testing as they exit the factory (verifying that a car starts is a good sanity check).
Prfnoff: Removed for not really being an example:
- A precursor is Edgar Allan Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum.
Keredis: Should we remove the Goldfinger example, and thus the page quote? I'm under the impression that this is more about something moving towards doom rather than doom slowly moving towards something.
