A couple of years back the power feed to our house shorted to the ground
wire, which was grounded through our water pipes.  The effect was that 
the water in the pipes started to boil and the pipe burst.  Unaware of
what had caused the rupture, I tried to shut off the water.  Boy was I
surprised when I discovered what I had always assumed to be the most
perfect ground was suddenly painfully electrified.  I was even more
surprised when shutting off the main breaker to the house didn't keep 
the sparks from flying.  I didn't figure out what had happende until I 
saw that the ground wire was glowing red hot where it entered the house.
Why the h*ll don't they ground those things *outside* of the house???


I read in the paper that some drunk in Germany peed of a bridge and onto
an overhead line for a streetcar.  The guy didn't live to tell about his
experience.  I'm not sure I would want to live through that either.  OUCH!!!


Watch where you pee!!
