Is that not the purpose of SAFETY GLASSES? I know its a pain, but there's a reason why they're stressed so much...

Ironically, the next year he gave a presentation on electricity safety.
My freshman year on the team I almost zapped a friend who was standing nearby while I was sitting on a table hooking up the battery to our prototype (which was also on the table). scary stuff... and that was NOT the smartest thing I've ever done, thanks to lack of common sense. Needless to say, that ended my carreer on electrical and I moved on to working in the public relations department after that.... perhaps it was for the better.
