This is the new Darwinator.  The sign says "WARNING--Pressing this 
button is dangerous."

The first Darwinator said "If you press this button, you will die." 
This was killing the stupidest ones, but the cull rate has slacked off 
lately, so the next model requires a bit more intelligence in order to 
survive.

                                       ....I should have said here:  "if he
took it..."

What exactly does this device do? I'm guessing the platform moves or 
omething, but beyond that, the joke is kinda lost on me :(

I get the Darwin ref. But what does it DO? What happens when you hit the 
button?

Will there be another animation? (I didn't know about the first one 
until Frango posted...)
