This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

While that is true the main reason they aren't made is not because of your stated reason, the main reason they aren't made is because you have two live metal prongs ready to kill when one end is plugged into power.

You say kill, I say take a trip to the breaker box to reset it after a light taze.

You'll trip a gfi breaker, but probably won't breaker a standard 15a breaker unless you're quite wet and very touchy-freely with the ground.
