If you're after a Darwin award you could also try replacing
those flimsy fuses with more robust chunks of solid copper and dispensing
with earth conductors on your electrical system. Then, since your
lights aren't likely to trip out, what's the point of having
banisters around your stairs? Next to go those pesky smoke detectors.
Don't forget to bypass those unreliable flame sensors etc on your
boiler. In your car you can get rid of those irritating warning
lights, not to mention those awkward seat belts, and so on ...
