Here's Why

Sabbath mode fridge

I bought a new Fisher & Paykel ActiveSmart fridge last week. I looked through the manual, and discovered that its a religious fridge!

I thought it was a bit much that the Warranty has an "Act Of God" clause - its just a fridge. But then reading further I found it has a "Sabbath mode".

How wonderfully pluralist!
