I think we can all admit putting our tongues in the open lightbulb sockets is the funnest thing you can do.

its weird hearing your heart. He says people who need to be revived by being shocked in the ER also hear it. Imagine putting your ear about an inch from your heart. amplify that sound, you have an arythmic heart beat. BTW! Im only 5'0" 105 lbs., im a little dude (hence the name squeeks) so i got some mad air

I used to work as an electrician before I got into repairing printers, and my shock stories are many and varied. The best one actually happened after I got into the printer business. I was working on a laser printer that still used a corona wire. Since I'm used to working on newer models that don't use corona wires, I'm also used to being able to work on the guts of a printer while it's turned on. Lesson learned:don't leave the printer on if it has a corona wire. It has incredible voltage but zero (thank god) amperage. It still stings pretty good though.
I never got hit with 60 amps, but I did get stung as an electrician by a 50 amp 220. I still have the scar. It impresses the girls let me tell you....
