What cretin thought of that one?

Just leave the butter out on the countertop if the weather's cool. If it's
hot, store it in the fridge and nuke it for 5-10 seconds as and when
required.

Talking about wasting energy in fridges, I'm rather astounded that my new
fridge-freezer[0] claims it consumes 2,000 units per year (or about 160
quid's worth). My 24/7 fileserver box uses "only" 1,100 and it's hotter and
noisier than that thing.


[0] Well, the landlord's, and since he's not the one paying the electricity
    bill, he bought the one with the lowest price rather than the lowest
    TCO.
