  2. COME ON, GUYS. PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION. ARE YOU GUYS RACISTS? HOW COME YOU HAVE NEVER GONE TO A MINORITY PERSONS HOUSE IN ALL THE YEARS YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SHOW. I HAVE LOOKED AT EVERYTHING I CAN FIND AND HAVEN'T SEEN A SINGLE SHOW WITH A BLACK, BROWN OR EVEN BEIGE PERSON. HOW COME?

  6. I have often thought one could do this with electric but to save energy you'd connect it to the bathroom light switch.. or better yet… the light that might be in your shower area. Basically you flip the switch, get ready for a shower, and by the time you finish (10 – 15 minutes later) the towel is warm. To go the next level, add recirculating hot water pump to the same circuit and there's no need to run the water till it's warm…. but the pump only runs when you flip the light on for a shower. IOW, both a time and energy saver plus a water saver!
