| A few years ago, I was messing around with a lamp that I had gotten along with a desk. I knew I was going to use it, but it required a lightbulb. Unfortunately, I couldn't use any that we had, so I was at a loss for a while. Then I remembered that there was a broken flashlight under my bed. I went and got it out and took the little lightbulb out of it. I already knew that it wasn't going to be big enough to fit in the lamp, so I took out the wires where the little lightbulb rested on to recieve electricity. I shaved off the rubber around the wires and had the wires touch the lightbulb slot. Success! I got the little lightbulb to light up. Now I needed to have it stay in the slot so I unpluged the lamp and went to get the tape. I taped it on and then connected the lamp to the power outlet. So far it works. Then I disconnected it again, and went to see what my brothers were doing. After a little while, I decided to make sure that the lamp still worked. I pluged it back in, and BZZZZRT! Sparks came out of the lamp and half of the house lost power.
Wow, what a bad time to have this happen. My parents weren't home yet and I had half of the house lose power. Unfortunately, the half that lost power was the one with all the computers and stuff like that were connected to. Knowing we had lost power, my brothers came to me telling me that the house lost power. We chect every device that was connected to an outlet and found that the living room had not lost power, so we got an extention cord and have everything in our room connected to it and waited until our parents got home. When our parents got home an hour or two later (finally!), we told them about how half of the house lost power and they proceeded to fix it. Now I know to never try to do something like this ever again. ____________________ Can finally say that I became The Guy! |

| The light in the kitchen here always goes out after a bad rain or snow... that's about it. When I was younger I stuck my fingers in a light socket, though. |

Meh, my house has the office (with 8 comps on all the time  ), ant the MASTER BEDROOM WIRED TOGETHER. About 5 computers have to be hibernated/turned off before I can even vacuum the bedroom.
EDIT: Also had a disassembled bubble pump (for my fish) on my desk, and had it plugged into my desk's power switches. I forgot about the pump for a few months, and when I was (finally) cleaning off my desk, I grabbed the pump, noticed it was a bit warm, and got a good zap from it. ____________________ #88: Never try to push your head into any opening that your whiskers won't clear easily."

| Our wiring is pretty screwy, see, the guy who lived in this house before us did the wiring for the basement himself, and we know he fucked something up, because the most lightbulbs last down there is two weeks tops. Every time we flick the light switch, something blows out. It's ridiculous. I also once blew a fuse when a brand new lightbulb I had just put in decided it was going to blow out before it even got used. I'd say we're lucky the only thing the wiring here screws with is our lightbulbs. ____________________  |

Jul - Post #2354 - 03-03-08 08:55:18pm The power's gone out twice here recently, which is odd, since this is supposed to be a very robust power grid designed to withstand extreme weather and the weather has been pretty mild. It's also a problem, because the furnace depends on electricity for some reason.  (And because I'm trying to run a web server here...) The second time, a few hours ago, I managed to not even notice for a good few minutes. I came out of the bathroom and went upstairs, noticed some dishes I'd forgotten to wash, and washed them. There was enough light coming in the windows that I didn't see the need to turn a light on. I noticed the microwave was dead, but figured someone had unplugged it or something (it's pretty screwy). Wasn't until I finished washing them and went back downstairs that I discovered everything else was also dead.  It must have just went out as I was halfway up the stairs, far enough that I couldn't hear any appliances running (and thus notice the sound suddenly stop).
Also when I was a kid I found one of those fuses that screws in to the socket, and noticed it would fit perfectly in a lamp. ZAP! Bright flash, bit of smoke, the lamp didn't even work for about 10 minutes afterward. 
Originally posted by ShadicI came so close to that many times in this room, it always scared the fuck out of me. I eventually had to buy some switch covers and install them myself. I've done that before and yeah, not a nice thing. Originally posted by TanksHeh, you dropped a live wire on the screen and it started going crazy? Neat. I had a TV once that when you turned it off, sometimes there would still be a glowing green dot in the middle of the screen. I was always afraid it'd like catch fire or something. Had another one that sometimes when you turned it off, it wouldn't turn completely off and you could actually still see the picture on the screen, dim but still moving. That was weird.____________________ |

Jul - Post #2356 - 03-04-08 12:01:57am It seems to vary from place to place. I did it once and hardly felt anything, but when I did it here I couldn't move for a good few seconds. ____________________ |

A few years ago, a lamp fell down and broke and made a large spark. This freaked the fuck out of me, but I was like 9 or 10 or something. I then proceeded to draw about it.  ____________________  |
