The obvious follow up question, then, is: why does Japan use 2-prong outlets even today? Are Japanese people dying from electrical shock at a much higher rate than the rest of the world? Is Japan full of only Perfect Electricians? Or is this not actually the significant problem that this myth (in the etiological sense, not the fictional sense) would lead us to believe?
The only 2-prong device I own is a (Japanese-made, of course) rice cooker. You'd think that if any device warranted 3-prong safety, it'd be a metal container which combines water and mains electricity.
