Nerdy safety moment. only takes 0.013 of an amp to kill you, it usually takes 13v to break the skin tho, but if you stick a battery onto your wet tongue, this is far less.

 

Strangely enough, blondes and fat people are generally more suceptible(?) to electric shock

Water and fat is a good conductor or electricity

I would have thought that if u put a battery on the tongue then 95% of the current would flow throught the tongue, can't see how it could stop your heart :confused: Saying that, it probably doesn't take much current to screw up the medulla oblongata (part of the brain that controls the heart etc).

 

I used to try to open bottles with my teeth, pretty stupid really, could have snapped the buggers :o :slap:
