Oh, those chinese...

Yesterday I got my electronic IR thermometer from Deal Extreme. The instructions are pretty good, all things considered, but one thing caught my eye:
"max power consumption during measurement: 3 million watts".


Comes with a faux-leather case, two batteries, and a pocket nuclear reactor.

[Bryce]

Is that a Thermo-nuclear device then?

Bryce.

[Gryzor]

Heheheh, that was a good one.

How's its name?
Fukushima Weather Station?

[Gryzor]

Chinese, not japanese. So it'd probably be Beijing Smog Controller or something.

[Devilmarkus]

Oh yes... Of course

[MaV]

..., two batteries, ...

I blame those.

Batteries from hell?

Even if they won't provide enough power for the thermometer anymore, you could probably heat your flat for the next 100 years.

Heck yeah. I did take a look at them, they were suspiciously lacking in the info department. Maybe it's a new chinese technology or something. Nevermind, it'll come in handy after oil dries up here in Greece, as long as I find a way to wire them up to my car.

Maybe this device can be connected to the CPC using a CPC-Booster+ and this one wire protocol. Antitec talked about it. And I really would sleep better if a CPC monitors such special stuff.

On the other hand, in case of problems just put it close to the banksters

hahahaha i have had the same experience everytime i buy products made from china sometimes it really does give me a good laugh to read thepriduct descriptions as sometimes they dont make sense at all! it was really something that was sort of a habit for me everytime i go to a sotre where i buy my chinese made product i tend to read the labels and descriptions first just to give myself a giggle!
