Saw this in the news this morning.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - Court papers allege that an Olympia woman,
angry that her husband left her, tampered with his power tools so
that he received a powerful electric shock.


I guess we should collectively hope that this doesn't get widespread
distribution... don't want to give anyone ideas. On the other hand,
how many could have pulled that off with out zapping themselves? ;~)


Probably many. Unplug the saw and do the deed. I suspect she knew
more than the average dummy though, in order to know what to do.


But it works both ways: The wires on the washing machine can be just as
easily swapped (then quickly swapped back)...
