	Thats pretty funny, I remember the time I lived over in germany.
	I was about 13years old and was strolling the countryside with
	my american huffy and the monkey bars with the bannana seat :-).
	We live in Bavaria in the country. I met a group of german kids
	playing a game with the electric fence the farmers used to keep
	the cows inside there grazing land. It wasn't how high of a voltage
	you could withstand but how long you could hold on to the 
	electric fence. I was pretty funny you could see the jerking
	movements of the body every second or so. It seemed the generator
	was producing intermittant dc or ac. I tried it and believe me
	at that age it didn't feel too cool. :-).
