No, it is not the voltage that kills, it's the amps. It is very possible to
have extremely high voltage levels and few amps. If not I would be dead now.
(I have fooled around with electricity.) Also, those 'stun guns' produce
roughly 50,000 volts from a 9V battery. Yet the amp level is very low and
it only stuns a person, it doesn't kill.

And why is this on alt.sex. Oh yes, the man with the window problems.
