Enco (now Exxon) used to say "put a tiger in your tank"

With a nice fat electric eel in your tank, you can drive your Tesla forever! Some assembly and wiring required.

Sorry. Amps needed.

Esso. Drop a tiger in your tank.

I remember it.

Even after being removed these electric organs will give out shocks.

It’s not the volts, it’s the amps that kill you. How many amps does an eel generate?

“The analysis also revealed that E. voltai could produce shocks up to 860 volts, higher than has been measured for electric eels or any other organism before. The third rail powering New York City’s subway system carries 625 volts, while electric chairs used for executions produce over 2,000 volts.”

Amps?

Esso, Enco, Humble, Exxon, Exxon Mobile.
Around Central PA it was known as Humble, briefly.

EELnado.. On SyFy soon.

A secret gubamint program to interbreed eels and use the offspring as weapons..

Just when you thought it was safe to go back near the water after Sharknado..

what happens when you breed an electric eel with a shark?

Tuna in for the sharking fin of an ending.

The way I see it, if you’re gonna build a time machine into a fish, why not do it with some style?

What I’d like to know is whether possession (in lieu of a taser) constitutes a criminal offense in NYC.

I am not surprised by this finding at all. Many years ago Al Gore said that Global Warming would cause small snakes to mutate and become huge, high-voltage electric eels.
