But, Qaissi told the newspaper, "I wore that blanket, I stood on that box, and I was wired up and electrocuted."

Uh, isn't "electrocution" generally fatal? Oh, I get it. He's a Democrat.

Depends on a lot of factors. Amperage, whether the current is flowing thru the chest, etc. I have been zapped numerous times with 100, and 200v, and even took a big hit from 440v three phase. Been zapped enuf that it does not scare me much.. but I do not really relish it either.

On the other hand, I also saw a guy have his pacemaker screwed up and he had a heart attack from clicking one of those trick lighters that shock ya.

Has Dan Rather and Mary Mapes joined the staff at the NEW YORK TIMES? No the staff of the Ole Gray Ho is infinitely worse than anything from the Communist Broadcasting System. A more virulent form of treason.

Actually, I was joking. The word "electrocution" means death by electric shock. I thought it was funny that someone was reporting his own death to a newspaper.
