For Fucks Sake is right ! Actually some "Special" scokets do have earths. My PC is connected to one as is the Air Conditioner and Fridge. The thing is that you don't even have to use the earth for these items to work. I think the japanese plugs are nasty. Yakumo
lol, the words "japanese", "air conditioner" and "fridge" bring up memories - back in the Gaijin House, were everything was decrepit and rusty, the PC, AC, fridge and microwave were all hooked up to the same socket.... so if somebody turned the microwave on while the AC was on already, and somebody else was using the PC, power would cut out... which made for some pretty funny occurrences
