re: shocking pissers on your window.
	I understand that Ben Franklin did a similar thing to keep drunks from
pissing on his wall.  It involved a Copper and a Zinc sheet, one on the side-
walk and the other on the wall.  The Urine provided the electrolyte.
	In your case.  I don't know.  Does your window have a screen?
	Also, 110 house current would not penetrate their sneakers to the 
ground.  You could use some sort of switching power supply to go up to 
40,000 volts.  Remember, it's not the voltage that is dangerous, but the
current.  A high voltage will bridge the insulating force of the shoes.
perhaps if you have a junk photo flash, you could rig something with that.
	Of course, instead of opening the window, you could burst from the
door with a Louisville Slugger.  It's safer (a florida businessman was convicted
when a burglar electrocuted himself breaking into a booby-trapped store).
