Did you take that pic? I'm curious as to whether these pics
are real or folks just set them up for a photo op as a joke?

The more important question is whether those tankless water heater
shower heads actually work.

I saw one on ebay for $90. (Watch the wrap)

A smaller unit is less than $35:

I have easy access behind my shower head, so I could mount one of the
puppies without too much trouble.

Do they really work?

That picture came from Jeff Fecteau at U/L,
I assume it was somewhat staged but probably in response to some silly
rule.


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).

"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 Doombaas brought tears to my eyes. It wasn't sadness either...
