And you're going to maximize the pain by going arm-to-arm. It also leaves you feeling all wonky inside, like all your insides feel weird and hosed up.. I would have been really pissed too. When I was like 5 I was shocked by one at my grandpas house. I was playing with a baseball and bat and I hit it over the fence and didn't think it was going to be on since he only had 1 horse around, but I guess he was renting out the area to his neighbor who had cows. So I used my bat to push up the fence so I could crawl under it. The bat was metal and I got a big old shock out of it.  I now have this weird twitch in my leg at times and I swear its a result from that drat fence. Luckily its died down a bit since I was a kid it used to be really bad. Like I would get a double in baseball and while I was on second my leg would just start shaking like crazy, it was insane. So to make a long boring story short, dont touch electric fences.Also new Dirty Jobs tomorrow wooo. I can't wait to get home and actually be able to watch those Mike Rowe youtube clips.

It was an unoccupied field and I thought that I could sneak through, but it turned out like successfully getting the pencil while playing Operation: it isn't going to happen. It hurt like hell, but no permanent damage. I don't think it was turned up really high. Still, it was enough for me to learn not to touch them, or whiz on them. And you will NOT be disappointed when you get home.

Yeah, I got shocked by a horse fence when I was younger on a relative's farm and it really does feel like you're getting hit right in the chest with a sledgehammer. And that's not even 10,000 volts. As far as I know, it's the amps that determine lethality, but gently caress that, any sort of electricity running through the body is loving dangerous as poo poo.

Robot Relations posted:And the way he deadpan confirms that they hooked up the cattle fence thing is pretty As far as the lethality goes, here's some examples My parents don't have cows anymore, but they used to grow sweet corn. Raccoons love sweet corn and will get in and eat it before it's ready. The best way to prevent this is to put up an electric fence. Since they didn't have cows, they used the electric fence charger to power it. It never killed any raccoons, although occasionally it would kill a bird (this was pretty rare). Before I was born, the family beagle got loose and was shocked by the electric cattle fence. It didn't hurt her (she lived to be quite old), but she'd refuse to go back to where the pasture was, even long after the fence and cows were gone. I guess it left an impression. Also, those Mike Rowe QVC commercials are a GREAT find. I'm adding that to the original post.

I took a cattle fence down the length of my spine in high school. I had on a leather jacket at the time, which I think really helped to lessen the blow. But you're absolutely right, you just don't feel proper. My limbs felt all floaty and like I wasn't in control of them completely. I can only imagine grabbing on to one of the drat things.

Yeah, I think typically the amps are what make the difference. I did some checking and the first response on ebay for a cattle charger was 8,000 volts capable of transmitting over 50 miles of fence. I think the one they used was less powerful than that though. Capn Beeb posted:I took a cattle fence down the length of my spine in high school.

Yeah, it hurts when you first do it, but for me (I've been shocked a bunch, used to live on a horse farm), the worst is the 'insides all hosed up' feeling afterwards which can last for a few hours.

Darth Freddy posted:On most of those cattle fence charger things, cant you select how much power you have going through them? It's probably an option on some of the higher end ones, but since they're designed for livestock, I think it's kind of a "when we use this voltage range, we get the right reactions".

Thanks! I wish Tivo was smart enough to record those kinds of things if you have a season pass. Of course, it's because of Tivo that I don't see the promos for the special in the first place, so I guess that's fair.

I hope this hasn't been posted, but after watching the Mythbusters marathon that was showed on the 4th of July with a friend, we started arguing about how they seem to be running out of stuff to do. I went to the Adam wikipedia page looking for quotes on Mythbusters or something, and found this:quote:he expressed an interest in proving natural selection over creationism on "MythBusters".

I really love the Mythbusters but the last thing Natural Selection and Evolution needs is them trying to prove it the same way they carry out other segments. Unless this is a special event where they have nothing but prominent scientists handling the experiments, this could be more hurtful than helpful.

Yeah, their fast and loose approach to science won't be doing anybody any favors on that subject. Mike Rowe on Larry King wasn't all that bad, but seriously King is a hurdle the viewer has to deal with to get to the interesting guest. I just don't take to his style of interviewing at all.

Yeah, Adam and Jamie are both big in the Skeptical community, so it's no surprise he would propose doing something like creationism. If anybody remembers Adam said a bit back that they would do no more paranormal myths. That being said, it would be interesting to see how they approach this. Think of it, Jamie on camera saying "Well, we're just going to simulate the big bang". That would be pretty awesome.

Last weeks Mythbusters was the first time I had to stop watching the show -- the saliva collecting made me dry heave. I'm almost gagging just thinking about it. Man vs Wild: Australia was AWESOME - not only did he drink pee but he ate a drat spider too, and it was cool to see him deal with some real weather (powerful lighting storms)
