Great! Shall we invent a biwire mains cable? There would be two mains plugs
with the cables fusing into one euroconnector. We could market it - "You get
twice the sound from MabelsCables" - "Hearing is believing" £450.00p a snip.

Why stop with cables? Think of all the other aftermarket items can can
be sold to the rich, stupid and foolish. How about magic feet? Oh, never
mind... already been done. How about something magic that you plug in
anywhere in the room? OH, that's already been done too. How about
magic knobs? All titanium construction with an antiresonant core!

A colleague of mine was once nearly killed by something like this that some
idiot had made in the hope of spreading the load between two supply fuses, or
some equally stupid idea. Pull out one plug and the pins of the other are
live, which is not something you expect to find when reaching behind equipment
to disconnect it.

Of course. It was early in the morning when I wrote that and I was in a hurry.
Perhaps I should have said "Pull out a plug and its pins are live, and you're not",
except that in this case my colleague luckily escaped. It's quite scary sometimes
what well-intentioned people will do in the misguided belief that it's a Good Idea.
