Makes me chuckle when I >think about the risk-sterile society some would now force on us. 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. :-).
