unplug unused PLUGS!

Well from experience i suggest we all unplug unused cords! today i was cleaning my room. i had my TV on , iTunes playing loud, and my cell plugged in along with my camera. So basically every single electronic thing in my room was on and running(its alot trust me) And all of the sudden i heard a loud pop! All my lights went out! i screamed and ran out of my room like a lil girl... embarrassing!! Anyways , i came up stairs to tell my mom and got on ,my laptop and the front page news on yahoo was.."UNPLUG UNUSED CORDS"...how ironic. so i began to read up on this. Apparently , if you do unplug the cords you dont use ,you can save alot of money on your electric bill. so i guess ill be saving the family alot money today....since my room is ina current black out.
