Quite often as high as 23,000 volts. Pee on one of those, and all
that'll be left would be your boots. Dusty boots... likely just

Years ago I was reading about survivors of lightening stikes and industrial
electrical accidents. Talk about an extreme experience! One guy was inside
a big electrical relay room when they turned the power on. Some of these
folks changed their personality. Most were very grateful to be alive.

But the most interesting factoid was that some of them, no way to determine
a percentage, actually grew a third set of teeth. Think about the
impications for dental health! It would be hard to find research volunteers
though.
