Oh man! Once a long time ago, I was lazy and I thought "160VDC in a 
100uF cap? Surely I can just discharge this with a screwdriver." Glad it 
wasn't a nice screwdriver. Still, lesson learned. I almost had a heart 
attack and NOT from being zapped. Still, I knew even then not to 
discharge a 400VDC+ cap with a screwdriver...
