    Slightly unrelated but still relevant - I bought a lava lamp from eBay several years ago. The guy selling it "assured" me it looked just like the one in the picture. It finally arrived - a skanky home-made effort that didn't work. I can't remember what I did in response.

    'I can't remember what I did in response'. Is that what you told the police?...;)
