-same thing, but nostrils

-get some raw chicken wings and make it dance

-get a volenteer to allow the ends to be stuck in his head. (have emergency crew stand by)

-put the two ends in the pool when someone is swimming (may be dangerous)

-try to light stuff on fire with the spark (is there a spark?)

-charge it up, grab some old electronics, and watch the magic smoke!

-sell it on ebay

-compare the shock bettween that and the shock that you get from a disposeable camera flash capacitor

-give it fully charged to the newbies

-mount it on the wall, and claim you shot it when you where hunting in south africa

-chuck it at my head to disable me from comming up with any more ideas

I wouldn't do any of these things! Rule of thumb...if it sparks don't put your face and especially your tongue near it!

Those are some serious caps, might make a spectacular linear power supply.
