Because then my biggest dilemma in life would be, do I drink from the bathtub faucet or the toilet?
I think the choice is obvious.

Not if Tommy Edison was anywhere near.
I would never leave the house.You just wanna be a dog so you can lick your own junk. DOn't lie...
Here, try this.I fear I have no clue what this means. ???

Edison did this to fight Genius Nikola Tesla's superior technology.Here, try this.
>"Edison, as noted above, had been working hard to link AC with death in the mind of the public, solely to protect his own investment in DC technology. In 1887, his staff collected reports of deaths involving AC in a pamphlet called "A Warning." With reporters present, Edison conducted demonstrations at his laboratory in West Orange, New Jersey, killing cats and dogs by luring them onto a metal plate wired to a 1,000 volt AC generator. In 1888, after Harold P. Brown, a former Edison employee, wrote a letter to the New York Post decrying yet another death by electrocution, Edison re-hired Brown. New York's selection of electrocution for executions gave Edison a new front on which to wage his battle, and Brown led the charge.
Working at Edison's laboratory, with Columbia's Dr. Fred Peterson as his assistant, Brown designed an electric chair. At Columbia, they staged a new series of experiments, in July and August of 1888, for public officials and reporters. They applied different levels of current from AC and DC systems to several stray dogs showing that while DC only brought agony, AC brought death. Their first victim was a Newfoundland. In the next several weeks, they made their point with more than 20 dogs. Edison himself offered a bounty of 25 cents for every animal caught and delivered for the experiments. In December, they electrocuted two calves and a horse, showing that the size of the subject was not an issue. And lest anyone fail to grasp the point, Edison asked, "Is this what your wife should be cooking with?" or "Should this power be in your sleeping child's bedroom wall?""<

He sure did. Tesla had teamed up with George Westinghouse, and they knew that the electrification of the country would require AC because of the ease of stepping the voltage way up for long distance travel, and then stepping it way down.Edison did this to fight Genius Nikola Tesla's superior technology.
So did a LOT of dogs that ol' Tommy got hold of. A lot of tortured dogs in a vain attempt to save his stupid DC idea.I thought this was a dog post.
But I find the "off topic" topic....electrifying.
