Oh - in the old days, students in highschool electronics class (this testosterone
contest reminds me of highschool), one kid would charge up a large axial
electrolytic cap (in those days, they were rather large, like a roll of big coins)
to 100 volts and bend the leads so they were next to the side, one lead on one
side, one lead on the other.  The kid would then roll the charged capacitor down
the bench toward his victim who would often grab the cap causing it to discharge
through the skin of his hand....

Hey - at least there's electronics content here, more than I can say for KD's last
two posts.
