I tried donating (read: off-loading) some old plates to a local Greek restaurant some time ago. They wouldn't take them! They said they couldn't use 'normal' plates, because the glazing on them made the resultant shards dangerous.
"Electricity originates inside clouds. There, it forms into lightning, which is attracted to the Earth by golfers. After entering the ground, the electricity hardens into coal, which, when dug up by power companies and burned in big ovens called "generators", turns back into electricity, where it is transformed by TV sets into commercials for beer, which passes through the consumers and back into the ground, thus completing what is known as a 'circuit'" - Dave Barry
