What a day. I learned you cannot say you've truly lived till you've had 20,000 volts run through you, LOL. The auto shop was playing with sparkplugs and whatnot on cars (I'm no car person, so don't ask specifics) Well, the auto teacher came to my physics class and invited us to play with them with his class. Who were we to resist, it's electromagnetics, physics! ;)
Well, after the auto teached finished explaining (in our terms) what was going on, and the glazed looks from the auto students who had no idea what magnetic inductance is, he got to the good part. 20,000 volts could be run through that thing, at SUPER low current (current kills, volts are just fun) and we should all get in a chain and get zapped. Naturally, being big tough guys (only one girl in that whole room, one of my friends, the validictorian, and even she did it once, but had the smarts to quit there, lol) we all eagerly did it, multiple times. Nothing funnier than seeing a bunch of us guys all holding hands, than jumping and jerking at once, LOL. Didn't hurt much, but it did make you jerk around a bit ;)
To give you an idea how much 20,000 volts it, it's like stringing 13,333 AA batteries together!
Oh, and Elli, thanks a million, downloaded Google Chrome, thing runs like a dream!

You guys are nuts! LOL!
Yikes! I think that would scare me! But I guess you lived to tell about it! :)
Shocking indeed! I say no thanks.
LMBO - that is so funny. Ah to be young again ;)
Crazy, crazy kids!! But Ken has had that happen many times, and he's still here to tell the stories.
I'm glad Chrome is working for you! I have a few problems when copying and pasting links on certain forums, but otherwise it's perfect for me!
Sounds like something my husband would do...oh wait! He has! LOL
