In my excitement I'd smashed a length of tubing thru the light bulb and electrocuted myself. I was probably pretty lucky considering and could have been swimming towards the light... Now know how a piece of metal feels when the ARC welder hits it and sure ain't much fun :)   Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
