Is it true that grounding a toaster could actually make it more
dangerous than running it from a 2-wire cord, even when the outlet

I've never seen a three prong plug on a toaster.


If they were grounded they would not make good bathtub heaters, cuz the
fuse would blow. Putting a toaster in your bath water is the best way to
keep the water hot.
