[Elecraft] Yet another on the stupid thread
OK, my daughter was going to replace the switch cover in her room. Next thing we heard the pop of a fuse blowing and she jumped... Ask her what happened and she said a spark jumped and the lights went out. I told her you can't do that with power on and Don't be silly dad, I turned the switch off. I got her a bulletin from the hardware store about electrical safety that afternoon. 73 Chuck AA8VS ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] Yet another on the stupid thread
When I was about seven, I read books at night when I was supposed to be sleeping, by the light of a night-light. The problem was that the night-light wasn't very bright. So what did I do? I attached the night-light to an extension power cord, and held one end of the extension cord with my teeth. One night, some of my saliva got into the plug... I don't think I tripped any circuit breakers, but the shock sure rang my bells.
