Subject: [alt-beam] Someone else's mistake


This is what happened to someone in my electrical class a few weeks.

Some kids stuck 2 paper clips in one of the sockets, and one other kid passed by them and didn't notice them touched them and got a wake up call! It was so funny but I guess you had to be there.
