Haunted Appliances

*APPALUSE*

 

[kittyP]

it won't kill me. it's a kettle.

 

[kittyP]

yeah, didn't think of that.
will leave it unplugged in the daytime

anyway, enough sensible advice, this is a silly thread - no place for humourless earnestness.

But what if the ghost in the/working kettle is out to kill to kill?

Ghosts don't exist.

 

[kittyP]

Ghosts don't exist.

The kettle ones do.

 

[Orang Utan]

The kettle ones do.

Well they're a bit rubbish at killing if a kettle is their chosen method.

It's actually very clever as it's rare anyone suspects anything *wise nod*

Have you tried rubbing it? There might be a very soggy genie trying to escape, you would get 3 wishes

My water boiler goes on and off sporadically but always late at night. That can be a little bit spooky.

What?

Internet of Things?

Kettles and fridges and heating and washing machines and so on with their own internet addresses, reporting back (e.g. to Google or the power company) on what they're up to.

Or turned off to soften demand peaks, then on when there's spare capacity...

Sensible from an engineering POV. but is going to get spooky.

I remember a Twitter account that was set up by a best man to the groom of a newly wed couple. It tweeted every time the marital bed was vigorously shaken (and for how long) and the best man intended it to chart the inevitable waning of their passion, without their knowledge. I can't remember what happened but I'm sure they would have found out.

It's not haunted, but the jig saw we bought from Lidl has a tendency for the switch to stay stuck on the ON position. A little hazardous, to say the least.
