    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;I was just perusing the photos and enjoying the contortions, and think you all are great at what you do! Give yourselves a pat on the back. (If anyone can do so, it'll be you.)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;But I couldn't help but notice that some of you were able to achieve complete entry, while others left a major body part remaining outside the appliance, "poking out" in the common parlance. Surely, to achieve complete enclosure must be the goal, yes?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Gold Stars for the Fitters! Their extra effort and/or lack of limb length ought to be recognized.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A TV trailer showing comic Johnny Vegas sitting in a fridge has been criticised after complaints it could encourage children to copy him. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;... The BBC said it felt the situation was so unrealistic, and the comic purpose so plain, that it was extremely unlikely to prompt copycat actions. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;But a spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said the trailer was potentially dangerous. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"There have been lethal accidents involving children in freezers," he said.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Idea # 1.)  Pets in appliences!  [I'm not saying you should microwave your poor little pet hampster, or throw your dog in a wood-chipper.]  However, kitties and doggies sitting peacefully inside a dryer, or your pet rat looking out from inside a martini shaker would be very cute in my opinion!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Idea # 2.)  Refrigerators, what a wonderful photo-op!!!!

&lt;br/&gt;Dryer number 9 was conquered last Friday night at approximately 3am.  It was a stealth operation with most revelers at the dryer local looking on with puzzled faces.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I dryer climbed for its own sake, 
&lt;br/&gt;no photographic evidence was recorded.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;However, I do have two witnesses if there is ever any question of the truth of Dryer Climb #9.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It was a tough dryer, very small, and caused much bruising, 
&lt;br/&gt;which I now know is the true test of a dryer for me.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So I may be slowing down to protect my stupid bruisey body, 
&lt;br/&gt;but I will never stop!
