    hmmm....tricky one here. I tried to water cool the t.v. once with a delicately mixed solution of carefully measured out robinson's orange + barley squash...

    needless to say it didn't work out too well for the t.v.

    RUFUS LIVE FROM INTENSIVE CARE:

    sounds like most of us need to steer cleer of overclocking and cooling household objects... I tried to water cool my toaster.... then my toast came out badly, so I thought I would use a fork to jam the pipes in place.... man... needless to say it didnt work.... maybe next time I'll just microwave my toast....

    One of my digital clocks had something slightly loose inside that causes it to resonate a really loud sound from what I assume is the power supply, so it starts buzzing at random intervals, and it got so annoying when I was trying to sleep, as it'd be all quiet then all of a sudden BZZZZZ.
    Needless to say I unplugged it and replaced it with a quieter one
