  1. By that I assume his problems were all behind[/i'] him, if you take my meaning.

     

    His problem was behind him, but the guy who did the autopsy sure took care of that.

  2. Well higher voltages also create higher current. Thats why the power lines run at 6kv-100kv and thus need a pole big to step the voltage down to 120.

  3. shorted with a 0.1ohm wire you get:

     

    V=IR

    voltage=Current x Resistance

    400=I0.1

    I=4,000

     

    4000 amps flowing through the wire, even so it will be a very short pulse and a screw driver wouldnt be effected by it much. Just make sure the side of the cap with the grooves isnt facing you. And dont get freaked out and stab yourself or somthing.

     

    Did he eat[/b'] it? ;)

     

    Eh I dont think you want to know what he did with it...

    A rabbit doesn't have to suffer being chemically blinded. This is the point. Animal testing for medical science is one thing' date=' but to satisfy human vanity, that's another thing entirely. Killing something just so you can have 'squeaky-clean hair', don't you think that's a bit much?

     

     

    Like the testing shampoo kind of thing?[/quote']

     

    I was just being extreme. Yes the blind rabbit is unnecessary, but the point is the same. If an animal has to die to save a human then so be it. When it comes to human lives I don’t think animals do have a value on there life. It is never just one human life. Research that will save one human will also apply to others and of course save more than one.

     

    I'm no arguing over cosmetic animal tests I’m arguing over scientific tests. I think it would be pretty easy to pay people to test shampoo but would you be willing to pay the extra money?

     

    And you guys probably think I’m an evil animal hater but I'm not. I don’t think I have ever hurt more than a fly, but if killing my dog would save my brother then I would do it in an instant.

  5. But 15 mA where? Across the heart' date=' presumably. So unless you are going to discharge the capacitor by grapping one terminal with your hand and touching the other to your foot, it's not likely to be lethal.

    Electrocution is a bit quirky. I doubt discharging the cap arm-to-arm would even do much (BUT DON’T DO IT!). There have been people who survived arm-to-arm shocks from pole pigs and survived with no permanent injuries.

     

    There has also been sombody who died from a AA (1.5v).

     

    And of course younger people tend to be able to withstand much larger shocks too. I wouldn’t let that cap scare you off. Just get into the habit of searching for capacitors when ever you open something up, and discharging them with a screwdriver.

     

    Edit: I just deleted half my post because now that I think about it may not have been good advice.

  6. I personally think it’s sick that people would put animals at the same level as humans. Even if they can suffer, they are ANIMALS. How could you possibly choose an animals life over a humans. I wouldn't mind slaughtering a thousand animals to save one human life.

     

    Sometimes it seems like people think humans should be running through fields naked being chased by lions. Kill or be killed.

     

    If a rabbit has to suffer puffy eyes so I don’t have to then so be it.

     

    Animal testing has saved millions of lives and I think the people who would try to change that are sicker than the people doing the testing.

     

    Of course I'm not talking about the useless testing, but you guys are making generalizations that animal testing is bad.

  7. personaly I`de kill the chicken and be done with, just make sure it got eaten and not wasted, sort of "Damage limitation". that`s about the best I`ve ever come up with :)

     

    I would agree. If the dog is killed it would probably not be eaten or used in any way. How would killing a chicken lower you? Are you a vegetarian?

  8. Here's one. A science teacher want to disect a frog in class. He has a sandwhich in his hand and the frog in his pocket. On the way' date=' he sees a weihghing machine. He thinks"I want to weigh myself. But, to make it more accurate,I'll take off all my clothes". After he weighs himself, he puts everything back on. He disects the sandwhich in the class and eats the frog instead!

    Did you make that up yourself....? :rolleyes:

  9. I still dont see how thats very funny, whats it have to do with the 100th brick???

     

    Well its a lot funnier verbally when you act like there stupid and say stuff like "I cant believe you don’t get it" after the first part but nobody took the bate except you so I just went ahead and told the rest.

  10. You don’t get it?!

     

    Alright alright here’s another:

     

    There’s a man and his best friend, a bird, on a plane. This guy in front of them is smoking a cigar and it started to make the bird cough.

     

    The bird tells his friend, “Will you please tell this guy in front of us to stop smoking? It’s making me cough.”

     

    So the man says the the smoker, “Hey will you stop smoking that cigar? Its making my bird cough.” And the smoker says, “No I wanna enjoy this cigar.”

     

    A little later the bird is coughing even worse and the bird says,”Hey you gota tell this guy to stop smoking he’s making me sick.”

     

    So the man says to the smoker, “Hey will you please stop smoking? You’re making my bird sick.” And the man says, “No I wanna enjoy this here cigar.”

     

    After a while the bird is about to die and he says, “You gota tell this guy to stop smoking I’m gona die soon.”

     

    So the man says to the smoker, “Hey will you stop smoking?! You’re killing my bird!” And the man says, “No! I wanna enjoy the rest of this cigar in peace!”

     

    The bird says, “Hey I got an idea. You tell this guy that if he throws the cigar out the window then you will throw me out the window and I can fly back in.”

     

    So he says to the smoker, “Hey if I throw my bird out the window will you throw the cigar out?” And he agrees.

     

    They throw the cigar and bird out at the same time and the bird flies back in with something in its mouth.

     

    Do you know what was in its mouth?

  11. thank you YT2095.

     

    Intresting' date=' so how come there are no coil-guns out

    there and many railguns ?

     

    [/quote']

     

    When is the last time you saw a rail gun that did more than shoot plasma? Coilguns are out there. You are just not looking in the right places.

  12. Favorite joke ever:

     

    A guy employs somebody to build him a dog house. He says that it has to be built with exactly 100 bricks and in 3 days. The man gets to work and on the end of the first day he has finished but he counts all the bricks and there are only 99.

     

    So the next day he tears it all down and rebuilds it. He counts it again but there are still only 99 bricks.

     

    So on the last day he tears it down again and rebuilds it. He then counts every single brick but there are only 99 bricks...

     

    He then takes the 100th brick and throws it into the air....

     

    It doesn’t come back down.
