The outlet wall
Exactly what it says: a wall made completely of electrical outlets.
With pic http://www.ironicsans.com/2009/06/id...tlet_wall.html Solves one problem. The commentors are pretty clever about addressing the problems generated by the concept. |

The commentors are pretty clever about addressing the problems generated by the concept. OK, (at least) 3 possibilities: 1. The whole thing was Photoshopped. (Not my idea, but from one of the comments on that page.) 2. Only some outlets are actually wired. So how do you know which ones? (A simple diagram might be enough.) 3. All outlets are wired. (I doubt this.) Probably all except the wired outlets are just outlets & covers glued onto/into the wall. Kewl idea, though.

Have you ever tried to sneeze, hiccup, belch, fart and yawn at the same time while urinating? TDD |

A body freeze would probably occur. TDD |
