Well, I was surfing the interwebz and I felt my pocket get warm. Then warmer. Then bleedin' hot!

As it turns out, I had a 9v battery and some change in my pocket. The change completed the circuit in my pocket and the rest is painful. The battery was really painful to touch when I first pulled it out, and still is really hot...

Thoughts?

And why did you have a battery in your pocket?

That happened to me once, and then I experienced a massive erection for several hours.

I took my Rainmaker to my proshop, and I disconnected the battery and shoved it in my pocket.

Man...

It's still really hot...

I remember a science project I had years and years and years ago in elementary school, someone switched the wires to short out the battery, so the whole thing got really hot, etc. I wasnt happy.

try connecting 87 9volts, and shocking yourself with them. thats 783 volts.  I personally didnt, but i witnessed it.  Im a techie in my schools theatre and we use 9volts for our wireless mics.  we use 20 per show with new batteries for every night.  so we have a schload of barely used 9vs at our disposal.  we made a chain, + to - to + and so on, with 87.  a fellow techie wanted to conect the 2 ends together to complete the circuit.  he put his knee down on the middle of the chain and when he brought the 2 ends together, an arc jumped from the batteries into his leg.  he was on the floor a=under a table when he got shocked, the shock made him jump up real fast.  he scraped a very good amount of skin off his back, but didnt even know about it untill i pointed it out to him.  after that we stuck to using patch cables to draw arcs about 2" long off the positive terminal, it was pretty sweet.

I dont think you realize how hideously dangerous that is.

2 9volt + one capaciter = dead.
