I squatted down to get a line-of-sight on some jig clamps once, and
reted my butt on the welding rod I had just dropped on the floor. 220V
AC welder, set at about 90A, and I was standing in a puddle of water and
resting wet gloves on the grounded jig table.
It was NOT an experience I'd like to repeat. That table weighed
about 400 pounds, and my work mates said I lifted the end off the floor.
The obvious injury was fairly painful, but pulling every muscle from
my ears down was much, much worse. I didn't walk, stand, or even sit
right for weeks.

Don't be scare of CRTs, they bite but don't hurt :o)
Alexandre, the only thing I've ever been "bit" by was 115V AC
@400Hz.
The pain isn't something you can describe in civlized company. My arm
hurt for days. That incident is what my paranoia is calibrated
against. From what I've been told, 60Hz AC or regular DC is a giggle in
comparison. I'm not going to test the theory. :)
