Come on, your going to tell me you've never been zapped by 120 AC before! I
was zapped in second grade, and 3 months ago at my place of employment.
Aside from the burns on my fingers and the strange sensation to get my
groove on, no noticable side effects have shown themselves. However your
results may vary
On the topic of really stupid things to do aside from around 500 xacto cuts
( I think I have developed an immunity to such cuts) I REALLY sliced my
chin open from a clutch shoe (a centrifical clutch from an RC heli) flying
out of the heli and slicing my chin. The cut was about 4 inches long! OUCH!
