I taught my younger brother at the age of 11 about electricity. To this day he will not mess with it. He is a master wood crafter and I ended up in the electrical and electronic skills. You may ask, what did I do to him?
We were riding on our go cart in the field next to the house in Tampa (now it is part of the cross town express) when I came across this metal pie pan. I stopped and shut of the go cart, called my brother over and asked him if he wanted to see a pan fly?! He said, "sure"! I handed him the pan and told him to hold it down by the edge on the spark plug. I then pulled the start cord! He flung that pan for a hundred feet. As it was in the air I said, "See the pan fly"!

Once my dog chewed the air hockey table's power cord in half. My younger sister decided she wanted to play so she pugged the loose half into the wall first and then decided to connect them(by the frayed/chewed up part).

BOOM!

We found her laying against the wall wondering why her hands were black.

I remember when I learned how bad can electricity get ye. Grade school, had to do a project on the telegraph. I was always he who tried his best at those projects (if I made a terrarium of cake with a lake of jello init for a talk about dinosaurs...), thus I made two wee houses conected with cable poles, mountains in the middle...the sort. Onewhich had a buzzer, the other rang and lit a small lightbulb. So, I proceed to plugitin and demonstrate - but a wire got loose. I grab a screwdriver, unscrew the thing, grab the naked end of the wire and bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt. Lights dimmed, and then I flew a couple of feet. Weirdest part is I sort of enjoyed the buzz and started playing games that delivered shocks; until I found out I was epyleptic.

The biggest jolt I have had was an indirect hit from lightning. It struck the tree I was under at the age of 13. I think that wasn't long after I got my brother's attention! I don't remember the exact event; just that I was taken to the hospital where I had a heart mummer. They said I was knocked about 10 feet from where I was standing. Needless to say it took me quite awhile to not freak out when a lightning storm came into the area.

I moved into my sister's house for the summer, and the room I'm in doesnt have any access to cable. I have watched "Stardust" 3 times in a row. Man I'm bored.
