dbskylerI'm working on my fic for dw_50ficathon, and I needed some technobabble. I sat there staring at a blank screen, trying vainly to think up something good, when it suddenly occurred to me to wonder if there might be some technobabble examples on the web that I could steal from get inspiration from.
A quick google search later, and what did I find? The Star Trek Random Technobabble Generator.
The internet is AWESOME.

ETA: re this icon -- in that episode, MacGyver actually had a line about heterodyning frequencies. He delivered it with great conviction, although the actor never did understand what the hell it meant.
