Default electrocuted



Absolutely. I didn't even think of that this time, but I even asked
about this here once, about why would, as in Goldfinger, a heater
thrown in a tub electrocute someone when the quickest path to the
ground seemed to be through the water to the drain. Or if the drain
wasn't a ground, what would be?


Actually, I'm pretty sure that the best path to ground
is back through the toaster, unless whoever threw it
cut the nuetral (and ground, if any) first.

Mind you, I don't plan to TEST this theory.
