Heh, that reminds me of my dorm room experience. My suitemate (shared a bathroom, that was it) never used his place so I could go in if I needed. Back at the time I was always cold and thought there must be a way to bump the heat up a few degrees. Since the heating controls were in his room I went over popped the plastic cover off. Then I deftly pulled the mercury gauge out and reveled in triumph as the heat came on. Yay! Huzzah for outsmarting the heating controls! I temporarily ceased celebration so I could put the plastic cover back on and set the mercury gauge on the desk. Only to see the aforementioned mercury gauge roll off the table and break in two upon hitting the floor From that point on the heat had two modes (controllable by a switch): always on or always off. 90° or 60°. What a choice. You better believe I was glad when summer came.
