work out how somebody could seriously harm themselves with one of these
kits, unless they were a Darwin Awards candidate anyway...
Maybe - just maybe - a kid could get a tingle from
a self-chopping step-up transformer or relay...
Then again, even just a few volts might tingle if you
stick two wires in your eye, if you ignored the pain
of the wire in your eye and concentrated on the juice.
On the other off-topic, I was introduced to "poutine" by
some programmers I met while on site at a programming job
in Quebec City. Being from Wisconsin, the mixture of
fried potatoes, cheese curds and gravy seemed right at home.
Around here, people go to great lengths to buy very fresh
cheese curds. They must squeak when you bite 'em.
