Irony

We got free batteries with our DVD player remote a few months back. They're of some strange company.
They're the first batteries i've seen who've 'leak-proof' written on them.
Ironically, they're also the first i've seen leaking.

Haha

Let me guess they're chinese?

Midnight Sun said...

dunno. They were blue. Now they're covered in a film of brown-substance

Espèra said...

LoL.

Lesson learnt: Never buy batteries of strange companies.

Monkey With Keyboard said...

TANSTAAFL, people. Or rather, TANSTAAFLPB (leak-proof battery).

Midnight Sun said...

@espera- or chinese ones, if anuj is right
@yottabyte- huh?

Espèra said...

I think she means some battery model.

Anuj said...

They probably are.

How could I possibly know this?

Well, I have cartons full of these things in my house. It will be an understatement to say that they leak like sieve. It's not like they're without their uses. Think sabotage.

Midnight Sun said...

Anuj, i suppose you DO know that keeping cartonfuls of leaking batteries in your house is NOT safe

GETTIT??!!?!?!

Monkey With Keyboard said...

"I think she means some battery model."
Lol.
Google it.

Anuj said...

Of course I know, but playing safe ain't fun; I just like to take me chances. It's just one of my rules in life, gamble with your life not your money.

Anyway, we can't help it. We get a carton of them whenever my dad imports anything from china; disposing them is such a pain. They can power most of my projects for a about a day before going bust. So we throw out something like a box a day (actually it's between 6-10). I know that my house is an environmental hazard but who gives a damn? I don't.

@prachi: You've been reading Heinlein? I forgot which had this phrase in it; it was the moon one, right?

No, I won't google it; I happen to be a very judicious user of computing horsepower it's universally accepted law that There Ain't No Such Thing As Free Computing Power.

Anuj said...

*my chances.
**about a day

I am sorry for the typos.

Midnight Sun said...

@ anuj- "I know that my house is an environmental hazard but who gives a damn? I don't."
ur an idiot. god knows u may mutilate into something.
And why the heck do u get cartons of batteries??
is it like, "BUY A PAIR OF CHINESE SOCKS AND GET 2 CARTONS OF BATTERIES ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!"
wtf

Anuj said...

"mutilate into something"????

Nah, actually you get 'em when you import cartons of electronic goods. Why are you so concerned? I am still alive, ain't I?

Do you want a carton? I'll give it to you for free; no questions asked about what you do with it. Take a bath with the battery acid for all I care.

ewwww...
no thanx.....i have 2 already.
