I thought mythbusters totally disproved it?

That was one that they proved. If you have a solid stream of liquid to
act
as a conductor, electricity can follow it. They had quite a bit of
trouble
getting a solid stream, but suceeded in the end.

Really? We're using mythbusters as our final word on science?

Love the show, but they *hardly* hold to scientific method and
occasionally get it right.

In this particular case, if the voltage/current is high enough, you don't
need a "continuous stream." The electricity can arc from drop to drop to
drop.

And crossing streams? Eh, what about That?
