I seem to recall Myth Busters doing a bit on this.

After repeated attempts they determined that the stream of urine coming from your body isn't solid and steady enough to create a path to ground.

Or perhaps this guy has one that is so long it touches the ground.

That is when they were testing the Myth that if You pissed on the third rail it would kill You.

Larry

How many drunk Croatian bikers does it take to fire up the third rail?

When I watched the show the thing that really stuck out is the fact that they allowed the Urine to pass freely sans pressure behind it. If they had done the experiment CORRECTLY they would have had a pump pumping out the Urine instead of having it free flow as they did.

Larry

OK, got the message Larry.

:>)

Do you still not need a path to ground?

Didn't that show that the stream isn't solid enough to create a path for electricity to follow?

I'm not saying the guy wasn't struck by lightening. I just doubt the urine steam provided the short to ground based on what I saw on Myth Busters.

Perhaps you are right Larry. I don't think I'll try it to find out.

Yeah it wasn't solid enough because they allowed it to dribble out of the fake man. If they would have had a pump forcing it out like when a guy does His business the stream would have been solid enough. Ever piss on an electric fence?? It's a real Jolt to the system.

What is there to say?

Larry, I'm putting this one in the file. When and if it is resurrected, please do not take it personally. It's just too good to let die and disappear into digital limbo.

Well when You go to western kansas there ain't much to do to "Kick Start" Your stay.

Larry

PS No Offense Doc.

Larry

FF, Larry, yo comprendo

I'll remember that if I'm ever again on 56 heading to Whoknowwhere

Re. the Mythbusters experiment, they were using 200-400 volts. Lightning is in the millions of volts range. Path of least resistance is what matters.

What is amazing is he has any pecker left at all.

No what is TRULY Amazing is He didn't have a spontanious Orgasm when the lightning bolt hit.

I touched the contacts on a cattle prod battery just to make a gal laugh up in Flagstaff at Anderson's Trading Post. About 1981. She was cute. LOL

In the Navy I got across the windings of an amplidyne with a cracked lead. I had both leads in my right hand when I got bit. 450 VDC and enough amps to rotate a 5 inch gun mount. A half inch rubber mat probably saved me. But my arm muscles were sore for 10 days.

They say that Action Jackson was hung on a meat hook and beaten. Then a cattle prod was shoved up his ass. The finale included a bucket or two of water which naturally shorted the prod.

So if Larry really pissed on an electric fence then I'm sure he'd be willing to do it again and make a vid to Show (Me) Us.

But I'm calling bullshit on it right now.

"I touched the contacts on a cattle prod battery just to make a gal laugh up in Flagstaff at Anderson's Trading Post. About 1981. She was cute. LOL"

Must've been winter. I spent winters in Flagstaff when I would've given damn near anything for something to break the tedium.

Must've been winter.

If you were willing to do it then you would have done it any time of the year to make this little gal laugh. Her voice tinkled like wind chimes.

She had rheumatoid arthritis, congenital, and wouldn't date anyone because she knew her future and wouldn't involve anyone in her care. Her father was a doctor in Scottsdale.

Larry et al:

You are pissing and bitching up a ton. The story isn't "Myth Busters". The story is factual and damned painful.

I suggest a test instead of more nuttiness.

Place your penis(you do have one?) into a light socket.

More that enough said.

OK, I'm interviewing Juan Cole and I get almost no comments, but a thread about a guy getting hit in the dick by lightning pulls in 19.

FYI: I saw a friend piss on an electric fence after we tried warning him over and over....knocked him off his feet and he landed 6' away, when he landed sparks and smoke were still coming from his pubes. I didn't see the rest because I was crying laughing. He did lose about 1/2 his pubes though.

Don't worry Brian, I've got a question for Dr Cole. I used to get his newsletter but it got to be too much.

We have inflicted a great tragedy upon the Iraqi people, and this dates back to the first Gulf War when we bombed their water supply facilities.

Now how did that help us drive Saddam out of Kuwait?

Nothing compares to what Bush et al have done while effecting "regime change" and hanging Saddam.

If it's not criminal then it should be.

"I don't remember what happened. One minute I was taking a leak and the next thing I knew I was in hospital.

I guess that's better then ""I don't remember what happened. One minute I was taking a leak and the next thing I knew I was married."

Lightning tends to hit the highest thing in an area, so for my own safety, I have to make sure I don't get an erection outdoors.

So if Larry really pissed on an electric fence then I'm sure he'd be willing to do it again and make a vid to Show (Me) Us.

Hey pal, just goes to prove the old adage.

The penis mightier than the sword

.............lightning rod................

Damn!
I'll bet he got real charge out of that!
A very "re-volt-ing" experience.....

Yeah they weren't doin that with "lightning" though. Which by all accounts at least appears to travel thru thin air, a piss stream ought to be easy :p
