Yes, it actually looks good For a few years I thought lava lamps only came in red

Mmmm... soothing lava lamps! They'd make for a nice screensaver.

(Not to be a party-pooper, but shouldn't this be in the Picture Gallery forum?)

How's that useful? I could press it without knowing and turn off anything nearby

Safety standards - I presume if your appliance goes on fire you can isolate it from the power supply.
I'm sure there's a valid reason, that's just the first thing that came off the top of my head.
