Quick, what do you do if your water heater’s busted – call in a professional? Have it replaced? Impale a candle on a piece of metal wire and try to have that heat the pipe up? If you answer “yes” to that third question, then congratulations – you’re the only person in the world who did.

Beyond how bad it looks, we’re pretty sure that physics doesn’t work that way. Or, you know what, just practically – what do you do when the candle burns down to the point it doesn’t reach the pipe anymore? Replacing it mid-shower doesn’t sound like fun.
