Having just woken up from one of my utter-lack-of-power naps I reviewed several threads and notice an odd coincidence: every one of them mentioned some inappropriate use of one component or another, and often with not-at-all hilarious consequences.

From switching out breakers to picking the wrong batteries to expecting AC controls to handle DC it's all been done, and never are the results what the user intended.

So go ahead guys: tell us your tales of "You won't believe what they were using for this!"
