I know what is wrong with this picture. It has 2 Power strips. Anyone can see the box has more holes to put more strips in. Hay you could power at least 10 Office cubes with this. Just ask the Building manager.
A little know how burns a big building

Another way he could have built this
would be to run both cables into the
male plug. Twist the stranded wires
of both wires (both whites, both blacks,
and both greens separately of course)
and then insert into
the clamping mechanisms of the male
plug. Probably a violation to
do that, though. But there'd be no
box to get kicked around.

The Brits actually sell a plug designed for just that!! [Linked Image]

It's a white box with multiple terminals inside (kind of like a wall-wart in appeareance). I think you can connect up to 5 or so appliances to it.

Believe it's designed for things like hi-fi component rack systems (separate record player, cassette deck and radio) so you can plug them all into one outlet but you aren't expected to be unplugging them. Sure beats using a triple-tap!!

Maybe pauluk can elaborate on what I mentioned.... Paul? [Linked Image]
