Just a little note on a few cool designs that might help a guy re-think the way he uses the ubiquitous electrical outlet. At least, that's what it did for me.
Scott Amron's Die Electric collection...er...I mean, I actually don't know what one calls something like this...an online art gallery of social commentary maybe? In any case, you can actually purchase these items, which repurpose electrical outlets for non-electrical use. They hold dish rags, potted plants, fire extinguishers and ...yeah, a noose. I suggest you go check out the high-res pictures.
But before you pay $45 for a cork with some sockets stuck into it, I suggest you investigate ways of creating one yourself :-).

Is it safe to plug in a wet dish-towel? How does that work?

I've seen crafters use the cheap plastic outlet plugs and just glue decorative items to them.

So what is code for these things, anyway? Are they UL-approved?

Despite its name, the A6 3.2 features a 3.1-liter V6 rated at 255 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque. The A6 4.2 has a 4.2-liter V8 that puts out 350 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. The sedan is available with either engine, while the wagon comes with the V6 only. Both engines feature direct fuel-injection technology, which optimizes performance and efficiency via ultra-precise fuel delivery. The 3.2 front-wheel-drive sedan has a continuously variable transmission (with driver-selectable shift points), while all other A6s come with a six-speed automatic transmission and the Quattro all-wheel-drive system.
