Where might I find cheater plugs?

Could someone tell me where I might be able to find cheater plugs (3-pin to 2-pin)? I've tried the local Radio Shack with no luck.

I don't think they are actually illegal, but the ones I've seen for sale for the last few years all now have a little ground wire with a round terminal exiting the side or bottom of the adapter. This is meant to be attached to the center screw on the receptacle (the one that holds the cover plate on) on the assumption that it's commected to ground...

These are almost a thing of the past themselves, but it's amazing what you can somtimes find in these little independant places. Re: illegal - I don't know how your local chains are run, but neither Home Depot or the various Radio Shacks in my area are know for hiring the best and brightest... Good luck, RLW
