    @Dr.Danger and the Masters of the Jalopniverse:
    Didn't you hear? It got edited out of the PowerWatchmen movie.


    But seriously, it is pretty much the best clog-it-full-of-wall-warts design I've ever run across. The next best solution is to buy a few 6" 3-prong extension cords (yes, they exist, specifically for this purpose).

    This reminds me of "Snake" on old cell phones. You know, back when they didn't have color and Java and such.

    Looks like a drunk industrial designer was playing the tables at Vegas when he/she came up with this.

    On of those actually look like human hands, so either that's one f'd up dear or you forgot to mention they have more than the antler version.

    I have never seen non-GFCI dual plug blocks that have a rectangular interface with the cover plate...


    And what's up with them not having the ground post-hole either?

    I can just picture myself running into these. I can also imagine the ER visits other people might make when they "fall" onto them by accident.
