Reading the articles about electric shock reminded me of a "game" some friends and I played once when were in junior high school. One guy had an autotransformer from radio shack (0-140V). As a test of machismo, one of us would hold on to the output while the voltage was increased until we couldn't stand it. The "winner" was the one who got to the highest voltage. This was filed away in my memory under "stupid things I did in my youth". Rob Akers
