Emergency International Plug to US Plug (Electrical Outlets)
I just got a Sony Ericsson P1i and I live in America so they gave me a plug converter (rounded international plug to standard US two prong plug)
and I went to NY for New Years Eve and I happened to leave the converter back in Philadelphia
so I was thinking how I could charge my phone
and my dad came up with an idea and here it is

Materials
Any standard US two prong plug that isnt being used
(Meaning not a device that turns on immediately or a transformer) ( I used a night light without a bulb)
The rounded plug which you need electricity for
A two or three prong outlet

A two or three prong outlet
What to Do ^^
Take the rounded plug and put the two prongs of the US plug imbetween it and then plug it in carefully and squeezing the rounded plug near the outlet so it stays without you holding on to it
Or....
Plug in the outlet but not all the way so you leave a little space
then while holding the US plug squeeze in the rounded plug
Look at the pics you'll know what I mean
