hasta la heatsa, baby

So, I've been bragging off and on for a few days about how I got a water heater for the fishies on our most recent trip to the aquarium, and promising that I would get a decent photo of it up on the site. But this was before last night, when I realized something.

The water heater is advanced, people. And sinister. And possibly sent here from . . . the future. *dramatic music *

"Ridiculous!" You say. "How would you even KNOW what a futuristic water heater looks like?" You say. "POPPYCOCK!" You say.

"Ha! You said 'poppycock!'" I say. But then I also say, I HAVE EVIDENCE.

Let's start with a simple nighttime photo of the tank, aided by your average, cotidian, run-of-the-mill flash:

"What?" You say. "It looks fine!" You say. "Stephanie, you are a drama queen." You say, dismissively.

But you're missing the key point. Watch what happens when I turn. The flash. OFF.


That's right. You see that light? The package claims that it means the water heater is currently, you know, heating. But this is a lie! A LIE!

How do I know? Because this ^^^ looks an awful lot like THIS:

Yep. My fishies are going to be attacked by the Terminator whilst we sleep. There will be gnashing of teeth, and fins, and then -- THEN -- I will get to come out of my room and use my Arnold Schwarzenegger impression! WOHOO! *\o/*

I. . . shall return.
