No, I wasn't really gonna zap my kid brother! That was a hypothetical question.
I was more worried about zapping myself, and I try to follow the one-hand-in
your-pocket rule whenever I can. I know better than to zap anyone with anything
I wouldn't zap myself with.
(But a good shot of signal voltage (+28VDC, 2 amps) across his earlobes next
time he gets out of the shower is very tempting! J/K!)
Oh, and the 9V battery story, I got told it was a Navy guy who fell on his
voltmeter probes. It's probably another urban legend.
