Power Soak made out of a toaster ?

If you were to take a two slice toaster and cut the plug off it and then solder a 1/4 inch jack onto the power cord, then measure the Ohms, you will have very close to 16 Ohms with the toaster engaged to make toast. This could be a poor mans power soak. I don't have the balls to try it, but theoreticly it should work. Amp set on 8 Ohm setting..one cab and the modded toaster and crank it up. It would be more like a partial dummy load than a power soak.This will trick the amp into thinking that its running two cabs. I don't recomend trying this, I just want to know why it would or would not work. Again I would never try something like this, nor would I encourage anyone else too either..
