    Here's my suggestion for April 1st:
     
    What is your favorite type of fuse?

    1. Automotive Fuses (various amperages available)
    2. Glass & Ceramic Fuses (various amperages available)
    3. Penny Nail (100A)
    4. Copious Amounts of Aluminum Foil (250A Flex-Install)
    5. Ammunition (350A Audiovisual Auto-Alert)
    6. 8cm M12 Shoulder Bolt (1500A Slow-Blow)
    7. 11m Box Wrench (2000A Slow-Blow)
    8. Fuses are for the timid masses. I use the largest metallic object readily available and fitting into the fuse holder.
    9. Whatever the BOFH hands me.

    I realize this is one over the permitted 8 options, but I couldn't in good conscience merge 1 and 2. I'll let the editors do that.

    You forgot the "I don't use fuses you insensitive clod" option. Fry everything! Burn down the whole lab, melt the transformers and knock out the power to the entire neighborhood for a week.

      Most components are self fusing.

    Damn, I like that one. Dropping it in #editorial on IRC.

      i'm upset that my favorite type of fuse, 'cannon', is not listed.

      with the write application to the cannonball delivery stack, one can learn a whole lot about compression and payload delivery and packet fragmentation! (pun intended--whoever heard of a useful read only ballistic device?)

        What do you have canon fuse for, Bert?
