grant_p when I heard this.
So, my Wednesday mornings now consist of sitting at a dissecting scope peering at dried grass and taking measurements for several hours. As you can imagine, this is an absolutely riveting task. So, to keep my brain occupied, I listen to the radio, particularly the morning show of one of the local stations. Since it was a morning show, they were giving periodic traffic updates for people going to work. Normally I wouldn't pay much attention to them (seeing as I'm where I need to be at, well, 7AM. >_>), but my ears pricked up when the traffic girl mentions there were some delays due to a transformer fire that had caused a power outage and thus had killed some traffic lights.
The DJs immediately leaped on this. "Oh no! Optimus Prime!" "Was it an Autobot or a Decepticon?" "BUMBLEBEE'S ON FIRE!!!"
The next time the transformer fire was mentioned, they included a sound clip from the old TV show, just to drive the point home. "Autobots! Move out!" XD
I was giggling like an idiot. When you're on sleep dep at 8 in the morning, this is comedy gold.

Across the bottom would be "Why the original Ford Pinto mode was not chosen for the movie."

Why can't the traffic guys in Indy be awesome?
