Okay, so one end goes to the wall socket.. where do I plug the other end? And will I explode if I get too hot? 
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

It's wireless, so there is no other end.

Most unlikely. You may catch fire however but that's consistent with getting 'too' hot regardless of any upgrade. According to the datasheet, the engineers have "gone to great efforts to minimise any detrimental effects arising from overheating including the use of two autonomous safety systems to cut off the charge if excess heat/combustion is detected."

If it were available at that price, my health-insurer would have proposed it already.
I assume the device can be turned of for Christmas-dinners and the like?

No way. I find it hard enough keeping my phone charged up. I'm forever losing the charger.
(Besides, I like food too much, and as for the consequences of food, I'd also be losing out on prime reading time)

Yeah - no problem. We all get sick, and the cold that was going round at the end of last year is a killer!

All I can say is that there was a long, long chat with the Big Guy in the Sky followed by the best comeback since Lazarus. It was touch-and-go there for a while.
