Do you keep losing all your imaginary Internet points? Anyway, I will accept the newspaper on my nose (my parents did way worse; not crying like a bitch). I was semi-bullshitting. While I use any power cord with impunity, nothing bad has happened so far in my almost 50 years of life. E: My only really bad electrical moment was in an upper-hallway at my parents house trying to plug a vacuum cleaner plug into an exposed outlet while it was completely dark. I got a massive shock on that one. It rattled me. I went right back to trying to plug it in again in the dark. I was meant to die. E2: And just recently, the microwave at my brother's house supposedly was spassing out. My sister tells me about it. I say to replace it. But I can't help myself. I say that I must see the problem. I turn it on. My sister is hiding around the corner. It is zapping and smoking. I give credit to my nephew who is standing side by side with me (I thought he was cowardly) staring at it as it is behaving like it will explode or do something really bad.
