Re: Eh?

You know it's the 60 hertz that makes it so dangerous in the US, right?

The most likely thing to kill you from getting electrocuted from a wall socket, is that asked that at 60 hertz AC it gets confused with the body's own signals and the heart thinks it's being told to stop.

Because the British work at 50 hertz, it's not near as dangerous.

My brother as a baby put a butter knife right into the wall socket and got zapped for a good 3 seconds, other than sore hands and crying for days, he was fine after a week to heal.

Ended up going to electrician School. Got pretty good at it
