2. Soon-to-be: 2012 Darwin Award Candidate

He should run an extension cord and hook up a toaster so he can have a snack while he works!

5. Looks like a telephone circuit...

... but even then the 20Hz 75 volt ringer signal can give a pretty good jolt.

Let's hope no one calls.

7. SO: how big a circuit is that,
