WTF is that thing?  Looks like a shower head coming out of the bottom.

An on-demand/tankless water heater?

I'm split between a joke photo and plain Hanlon's razor.

Yeah could be I guess, never seen one built into the fixture before.

That's gonna be a real bitch when the element burns through,  :-DD

I totally believe this is legit, having seen several times how a ground wire is put into a flower pot or something similar...

Is ground and dirt (as in sand )the same word in Russian?

I am surprised some of the forum users dismiss the best way to have your equipment truly grounded.

Humour aside, I actually think that terms "grounded" and "earthed" are pretty bad at explaining underlying function. Ground/earth primarily means dirt/sand in most languages, it is only secondly or thirdly considered as an electrical concept.

That's why in the UK electrical safety standards, terms such as earth and ground have been replaced with CPC (Circuit Protective Conductor) which accounts for the fact that it, in some installations, it may not be connected to the soil.
