The Marquis de Sade? (Ex-Lax ... why am I always offline for the questions I know or would have at least guessed right?)

No and no, though the Marquis de Sade is in the right ball-park..

No idea what the answer to Orlok's question is, but I owe you one as well. Ok since this is the silliness quiz, here I go.

In 1966 Germans got their first taste of Science Fiction on television. It was a series called "Raumpatrouille" (space patrol) and was produced on a very tight budget. Especially the "special effects" have been very special.

They tried to get a futuristic design for all the props and were very creative.

Now the question: What common household device was used for one of the main control panels?

But wouldn't the stick itself be considered part of the instrument

As I already have a question on the go, does someone else want to take up the baton?

And here is the actual quotation, which will help find it online...not that anyone would consider cheating

"Sooner murder an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires"
