Sep 16 2009But I Was Gonna Eat That!: 'Danger: High Voltage' As Demonstrated By A Watermelon
You know how all those high-voltage capacitors have warning signs that tell you not to sit on them or play around them but you do anyways because you're an ultra-L337 badass from the planet Choke-slam? Well this is a video demonstration of what can happen if a drunk electrical worker accidentally left some of the wires exposed and you sat on them. Except, in this demo they use a watermelon instead of your buttocks. The same thing would happen to your ass though, trust me. You see these? *knock knock knock* Wooden cheeks. I'm just like George Washington! Except way handsomer and a better leader.
So, This Is What Those High Voltage Danger Signs Mean [gizmodo]
Thanks to Harrison, who actually taught 'ol George how to make love like an eagle falling out of the sky.

Here's some crazy sh*t. It's not the wattage/voltage/amperage that blows up watermelons (and people), it's the speed and quantity of the moving electrons and the resistance of the medium. When repairmen work on high power lines at power plans, they put them in a insulated cage and slowly bring their body up to the same voltage as the wires they're going to work on. This way they can handle the live wires without getting killed. If these guys had done with same with this watermelon, they could have been eating it right now. nom nom nom.

It's the new Al-Qaida terrorist interrogation unit developed by Blackwater for the CIA. I wonder if extracts useful information?
