It’s 2020. What month do we think this thing will become sentient and start killing us… very slowly?

I’m betting August.

It’d make for a great screen shouter: “Don’t stand under the cable, you idiots!”, “Does a summer camp really need that much clothes line?!”, “AAAAhhh! How do you not hear that slow, gentle squeek?”
