Self Electrocution

This is just the most wonderful invention that I’ve come across in recent years. It’s called the Vilcus plug dactyloadapter and according to the website, it was created to solve the problem: Create an adapter for sticking fingers into electrical sockets.

Well, getting myself electrocuted on purpose isn’t something unknown to me. I have done it several times during my youth and I have lived to tell the tale. What can I say. We’ve all done silly things when we were young. At the very least, I can claim that it was educational.

I have always had a natural curiosity for all kinds of things. Just the other day, there were two big screen televisions and a camera sitting in the room that we used to do mark auditing. Being naturally curious, I walked up to it and toyed around with it. Little did I know that the room had been double booked for a tele-conference session. Since I had messed around with it, the technician wasn’t very happy. When he asked me why I touched it, I gave him the honest answer: it was sitting there (begging to be touched).

Since I was young, I’ve been curious about the nature of electricity. It played a role in every part of my life but I had no idea how it looked or felt like. So, I endeavoured to find out by conducting a series of little experiments, which involved exposing myself to a good jolt of 240V mains electricity. All I can say is that, it did not feel like anything else that I’ve ever felt before in my life.

When anyone asks me why I chose to go into double E engineering, I will relate my youthful indiscretions to them. The typical response that I get is one of shock and surprise. But honestly, I kind of liked it. This device is exactly what I need to get my fix.
