Some mates and I mucked around with an electric fence when I was younger. I held onto a wire, feeling just a weal *throb...throb...throb*, then Jase held the wire a little further down and touched my hand. INSTANT HORRIBLE PAIN.

The fence is in mid-air though, it actually is close enough to pass through a solid stream (unline the 3rd rail).

What you really should have done, was touch two parallel wires. :bored:

There's so many better candidates for a Darwin. I like the guy who was firing his pistol over his shoulder while running away and accidentally shot himself in the head. :cheeky:

I'd have to agree on the "better candidates for a Darwin" bit, admittedly, but this electric-fence-grabbing guy ought to at least get a honorable mention.
Anyway, while that story is amusing, that guy doesn't seem to be as good a candidate for a Darwin as much as this one would-be robber who tried to shoot someone. Nothing happened, so he figured that he'd look down the barrel and try pulling the trigger again...
Guess what, it worked this time!
