Well I couldn't pass this one up.

In high school power mechanics class someone brought up the question...

"If everybody forms a line, will everybody get shocked by the spark plug
wire?"

My teachers response was  "Lets find out."

Lucky me I was the guy at the end acting as ground.  It did hurt quite a
bit, but it was worth watching everybodies arms go flying straight up into
the air :)


I also seem to remeber cleaning a spark plug cable on a minibike when
a little kid walked over and said "Maybe it works now!".  He proceeded
to pull the starter cord, and I proceeded to see little stars everwhere.
