We rent an apartment, its an old house divided into 4 apartmens. 2 on top, 2 on the the bottom. We are on the bottom floor. The heat is oil heat and the vents are on the wall just above floor level. When the heat kicks on and starts blowing, there is an awful smell that fills up the whole room. Kind of like and oil smell. It is really bad, I cant sleep at night because it stinks so much. I told the landlord and he claims the oil is low and needs to be filled but he never fills it. I cant take it anymore. The tenant upstairs even smells it, so if they can smell it one floor up, imagine how bad it is down here. My question is..is this smell harmful? Could it be carbon monoxcide? We have a 2 year old and I worry about her. I dont want something bad to happen to any of us. I complain all the time but the landlord is too damn lazy to do anything.
Yes, it is still possible to be electrocuted while taking a shower. Regardless of whether you have lightning rods or a basement. Lightning rods really only are used to deflect the surge of electricity from retaining throughout the house and bursting electrical components in the home. They are meant to take the electrical charge and surge it into the ground, where it thus dies. By taking a shower, bath, even talking on a telephone, or cell phone, you can cause the static charge naturally found in these substances, as well as in the human body to be a conductor. (Ever hear of the saying not to be outside when a thunderstorm is present)? The same thing applies here. Many people don't realize it, but the human body always is a conductor. The body can conduct upwards of 2100 watts of electricity at any given time. Sometimes higher and sometimes lower, in given situations. Even though there are hundreds of other objects, much taller than the human body outside during a storm, the body gives off such drastic fluctuations, that this is one of the reasons why people can be struck. Just like in the colder seasons if you touch a metal object, you receive a charge, a.k.a. shock from the metal. This is because your body is housing electricity. Also called EMF waves-(Electromagnetic Frequency). It is also proven that when a thunderstorm or lightning storm is underway, you should not operate a computer, as it has been known for the monitor screen to explode.
Yes, there is a small chance that you could. There is also a chance of lightning traveling through land phone lines.

We are building a house and having the builder install a hard-wired multi room audio system. This includes two flush mount speakers in four rooms with independent volumes controls for each room. Altogether 8 speakers on this system. Does this mean 8-channel for a
Sounds cool, but useless from a scientific standpoint. If there were some means of tracking the ducks other than the if found method, it could be useful. The odds of finding one of 90 bathtub ducks on a remote beach? Statistically it's going to be really close to zero.
While I am sure it is possible, it is highly improbable.
