Haha - When we were teens, my brother built a BIG Tesla Coil, and we had all sorts of fun with it, also using it to play around with Jacob's Ladders, etc. I used to like to try to draw the biggest spark out of the Tesla Coil possible, and one humid day the "insulator" I used in doing so, a wooden yardstick, turned out to be not quite such a good insulator after all, and I got whapped by roughly .75 Megavolts. Thank God there wasn't too much current behind it, but there was enough to send me back a few feet. I also got knocked back across the room by residual voltage on a CRT once. That was a doosie, too! Definitely something one remembers...
