Sorry the guy died - but ya can't make this stuff up ...
BTW - if he was peeing on the third rail, it would prolly be like when a dog pees on an electrified fence ...

But as we all know, the trick to successfully PEEING on the third rail is to use the muscles God gave you (albeit for a different purpose), and only release urine in short spurts, none of which bridge the entire distance between you and the rail.
And besides, that impresses the hell out of the ladies. :)

“the Purple Line...”
I bet I was purple, and blue, black and charred.

I guess the episode of Mythbusters, where they “proved” this couldn’t happen (peeing on an electric fence), had better be revisited.
They didn’t use enough juice!

i peeeeedddd on an electric fence......didnt know it was there. Out shining deer one night when I was 14. Put my 22 down and I really had to let one rip. When you are 14, you dont just pee......you pee for distance . Well, I “found”the electric fence my grandpas neighbor just put up the day before on the edge of his cultivated corn field. Apparently, he put up the fence for the cows to use the field. It turns out he wasnt much of an energy conscious person as he left it on overnight when the cows were in the barn. I am lucky I was just dealing with an electric fence.....as my third leg felt like it was blown up with an M-80. I couldnt even scream for several seconds.....I just fell to my knees and curled into a ball while my cousin stood next to me asking “ what what what what what”? I cannot imagine urinating on the third track.

The mythbusters are WRONG on many myths.
I have seen (with my own eyes) a dog electrified peeing on a electric wire.
Also, their episode on Tesla technology was DOWNRIGHT STUPID WRONG.
They set the resonance unit up 90 degrees in the WRONG direction on the bridge but still managed to get an effect so they listed it as “plausible”. If they had simply placed the resonance generator in the RIGHT direction they would have been shocked to find Tesla was right! But they are literally that dumb, when it comes to matters of science, rather than the standard “whoooweee, let’s blow this up”.
Maybe they were the techs at Dateline who “helped” the truck explode on camera.

Too bad. Local press reports say that he was an ex-Marine who had served in Iraq. He and his friends were in town from Indiana for a Cubs game. The “EL” station is about 10 EL stops (20 minutes)north of Wrigley. There are many welcoming pubs in the area around the now lively Wrigley neighborhood and the 20 and 30 something boys and girls often party on into the wee hours, even after day games. Mostly its just good times. But every once in a while, something like this happens. The young man was from out of town—even an overserved Chicagoan would think twice before descending onto the track bed. So sad.

There once was a man named McKee
Who suddenly had to go pee;
On the tracks of the "L"
He peed when he fell--
The conductor he thought he should be

Was alcohol involved?Had to be. Regular piss doesn't carry electrical current. Physics/Biochemistry 101.
