Um, Danger?
Jul. 29th, 2006 11:13 pmBrowsing through the big box hardware store (don't worry, it will never be WalMart) I came across the impulse purchase of my dreams:
A Generic Lava Lamp!
Don't worry, purists. The funky streamlined shape didn't attract me. The $15 price did.
So I take it home, I plug it in, I zone in front of the telly.
And when the wife decides it's time to turn off the new contraption, she senses something amiss. I investigate with help from my new favorite toy, an infrared thermometer.
After troubling readings, I ask a friend to plug in his own true Lava Lamp™. After several hours of globular fun, I bring the infrared toy to his unit and read a max temp of about 115F. Not too bad.
( What follows is bad. )
