The more important question is whether those tankless water heater shower heads actually work. I saw one on ebay for $90. (Watch the wrap) http://www.ebay.com/itm/TANKLESS-WAT...em19d41c c8c0 A smaller unit is less than $35: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SHOWER-HEAD-...em45fef2 5d6f I have easy access behind my shower head, so I could mount one of the puppies without too much trouble. Do they really work? |

I'm curious as to whether these pics are real or folks just set them up for a photo op as a joke? That picture came from Jeff Fecteau at U/L, I assume it was somewhat staged but probably in response to some silly rule. "Back in the Day" of coin phone booths (what's a coin phone?), in very dry parts of the country, frequently the coin collect/coin return feature wouldn't work. This is because the relays/solenoids are activated to an earth ground. The usually fix was to dump a bucket of water on the ground rod next to the booth. I don't think this was a problem with indoor phones as they have a more robust earth ground. |

The picture could have quite easily originated at U/L; I found it on the "There, I fixed it" website (which I encourage everyone to visit). http://failblog.cheezburger.com/ther...nRedirect=true The Doombaas brought tears to my eyes. It wasn't sadness either... |
