      Getting the little ones to listen to mommy and daddy can be a hard cell. Hopefully we all have the potential to get something positive from this negative situation.

    25. KAP'n Craig (43 months ago | reply)

      BTW, were his injuries terminal?

    26. Lenny&Meriel (43 months ago | reply)

      I'm afraid so, it was the shock that did it

    27. KAP'n Craig (43 months ago | reply)

      The irony is that he had just put on new shorts.

    28. Lenny&Meriel (43 months ago | reply)

      Mate, in a way it's a good thing death was accidental. And imagine the furore if they found any salt on the scene. Clear cut case of a salt and battery.

    29. Ningaloo (43 months ago | reply)

      If only I could find a quick pastable link to tumbleweed.

    30. KAP'n Craig (43 months ago | reply)

      So what you are saying is that since it was accidental no one will be charged.

    31. Ric e Ette (43 months ago | reply)

      I heard an off-duty solder saw everything, it was a bipolar transisting nearby that did it.

    32. Lenny&Meriel (43 months ago | reply)

      Maybe someone should write annode

    33. garnatha (43 months ago | reply)

      lol brilliant!!!

    34. KAP'n Craig (43 months ago | reply)

      I read that this little guy had been doing the impe dance and spilled his Ohms slaw. That apparently led to this massive voltage drop.

    35. bhisham (43 months ago | reply)

    36. jakubbrabec (43 months ago | reply)

      Great idea!

      Nice commentary on the transistory nature of life, Lenny.

    41. Lenny&Meriel (43 months ago | reply)

      It's like a visual poem about death, isn't it? A sort of "Die ode".

    42. weavingmajor (43 months ago | reply)

      Die-ode? I think this was a kill-a-joule. I hope those two little guys have the capacitor to recover from such an ohm-verwhelming tragedy.

    43. Lenny&Meriel (43 months ago | reply)

      I think they'll manage to solder on
