How to cause an international incident #9128392

http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/africa/12/03/sudan.school/index.html

Short end of the story:  Ex employee of a private school, carrying a grudge over his termination, informed Sudan's education officials over a Brittish teacher who let students (with parent permission) name a teddy bear "Mohammad," therefore having the teacher be arrested, tried, convicted, sentenced to 15 days in jail, pardoned with 8 to go, and expelled back to the UK.

Gee, I think that's called fraud.

5 volts, 1/2 amp

The light fixture blew completely as I was screwing in another bulb (it was down to one, and I was replacing one of the dead four).  Wiring looked ok, but I'd have Dad look at it tomorrow.  After futzing with Mom's request, I had to get a shower and get to bed.

Unfortunately, I have no overhead light.  So what do I grab?  15 feet of USB extention cord, a USB power adapter, and a LED light.  Snake the cord from the power adapter and GFI socket over the door and just at the corner of the shower, and... get just enough light to shower.

Five volts, half an amp.  Glad the shower curtain and sides are WHITE
