How Much Is Mundane Squared?

Everything I know about loading a dish washer I learned from watching episodes of the soon to be defunct television program 'House'.  Wilson, faithful friend  of Gregory House MD is a bit obsessive and almost destroys a relationship with a woman he hoped to marry (or remarry as the plot unfolded) by insisting that she put large items such as pots and salad bowls on the top rack because if they are on the bottom rack they block the water from reaching the top rack. Darned if he wasn't right.  So now every time I load the dish washer I think of James Wilson MD and the episodes of House I really enjoyed.  And that, folks, is how I sometimes turn a mundane task into - well - and even more mundane task.
