me: "you did remember to wrap electrical tape around the battery posts, right?"

ben: "uh..... no...."

me, with electrical tape in hand, running: "ho-ly-crap...."

robot: "ZAP SPARK ARC ARC CRACKLE..."

me, right hand burned, laying on the floor: "grrr always, always insulate metal used to hold batteries down... and wear mechanic's gloves."

yes, its true, the robot was just like a ford pinto, you rear end it and all heck breaks loose

Another playing with electricity:

"You jumped 10 tiles. xxx volts? [checks cell]. Yep, get that one every time."

"You want to unplug the sound rack? Just be careful. We put brass outlet plates on a non-grounded circuit."
