Unsafe practises?

'Hopefully, I'm not the only person who just a little concerns by the unsafe practices mentioned here. '

Mrs TT and I were engaged in unsafe practises last night. This morning with mango knife in hand, she told me that one way or another I'm going to pay if she ends up pregnant. Gulp.

Did I ever tell you how I shot down the whole of the Luftwaffe in one afternoon?
Had to go home to refuel before finishing them off.

Utterly, utterly, PREPOSTEROUS! claim as the greatest American war hero of all time Loo-tenant Kernal John Duke Wayne, of the 101st Tenneseean Airborn Horse Brigade, zapped at least 250,000 baddies in countless wars from The Alamo, 21 Injunn Skirmishes, Iwo Jima, The Longest Day, The Green Berets, and so many, many, more. These well known undisputed acts of heroism are fully evidenced in technicolor with certified true copies stored in perpetuity for all to see in the US National Hall of Bovine Scatology.

Long live The Duke.

Anyone who brags about their own personal body count is a liar or a sociopath, or a lying sociopath. I suspect he may be all of these things.

Now to the interesting bit - Amps do indeed kill you, but to push enough Amps you need a high voltage or a low resistance (such as a penknife or wet skin). I= V/R and all of its transpositions remains true, you can't change one without changing the others. You only need about 50mA (50 thousands of an Amp) to kill someone in the right circumstances.

Amps certainly do the frying ... as some idiot found out when trying to nick copper cable from the local railway recently (750v DC 3rd Rail system) ... he and his mates should have stayed at school and paid attention during physics ... stupid sod ! Apparently he was quite an effective fuse !
