I am not talking about One summer I was just finishing mowing our (slightly wet) lawn, with a lawn mower that had lost the spark plug boot. I wondered just how hot the crankcase was, and licked my fingers, intending to momentarily touch them to the case. The mower was running, and I absent-mindedly grabbed the end of the spark plug (it was very hot and my brain must not have been running at 100%). When I woke up, I was flat on my back about seven feet from the mower, which was still running. I had a very bad headache and my arm was very sore. My fingers were burned, but not too badly. -- David Deaven (deaven@physics.berkeley.edu) Physics Department University of California at Berkeley Berkeley, CA 94720
