This isn't for in the wall, but outside of it...
For example you plug in a drill but it slowly works its way out, you are working with a screw driver against the wall and accidentally drop it, at this point the screw driver can come to rest on the live pins of the drill that is plugged partially into the wall. With the ground pins up the screw driver will pick a side and fall off...

- X-Istence 14y agoIf you want a nice flash, take some low resistance half watt or even quarter watt resistors, place in power strip, plug power strip in ... Ah, so awesome.
