My god, that was scary.
I was washing my hair with fairly hot water, when the water started getting hotter without me noticing (The water in this house is a bit random). I first noticed how I was feeling little stings in my right arm, and then how my left arm was just hanging on the side, when I thought I had been washing my hair with it. I opened my eyes and could barely see anything, just weak outlines of stuff. There was a strong ringing in my ears. Then I just collapsed and it went black for a couple of seconds.
When I got feeling back in my left arm I reached for the thermostat and turned the water to cooler and just layed down in the shower while my head cooled down. I could barely move, no feeling in either legs or my right arm, and I couldn't see or hear anything but the contourse of my body and a really loud ringing. After a little while I could get up and get out, I sat on the toilet lid for 10 minutes at least, until the ear ringing was gone.
If I would've passed out for longer, it could've ended up real bad, especially since mom wasn't at home...
Lesson learned; Don't take hot showers in my house

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
