A new thing to worry about. News report... MM was found hanging by a cord that was foolishly plugged into a ceiling outlet. Details at 11. <bseg> I'm surprised they didn't say: "Note: To avoid injury, do not connect the adapter to any outlet." which would have been more accurate. Or even: "Note: To avoid injury, do not open the package containing this adapter."

I was working on the end of an extension cord. Somehow it got plugged in while I was working on it, and I touched the two wires together. Big bang. The end was in another room, and I'm yelling at my spouse: "Unplug that cord..." She got really pissed off at me for yelling at her. (but was I wrong? <bg>)

Then, plug the other end of the adapter into a standard AC outlet. The power turns on. Note: To avoid injury, do not connect the adapter to a ceiling outlet. My gosh! A new thing to worry about.

Why the person who installed the outlet didn't put it on the side of the stairs, I don't know - it's not like there isn't plenty of room.
