Boy is giggling like a little boy.

Mythbusters is on the Discovery Channel. Current myth they're busting involves peeing on the third rail.

He's giggling at the blueprints (animated). He's giggling at the man running around in a body bag. He's giggling at the building of the pee machine (skeleton, electro-gel, gelatin, etc).

It's like little boy heaven in here.

it was busted. due to the fact that urine doesn't connect in a stream but in fact in droplets, it can't carry the current. urine can carry current but you'd have to pee about 4 inches from the rail for the stream to stay intact & then it would definitely kill you.

so, don't squat on the third rail. ;)

i think the quote was along the lines of: "so, if you're really drunk, barefoot, in the rain, and grab the rail with both hands while you pee directly on it, yeah. you'll get shocked."
