In honour of doughnut day, an old joke that I think I've posted here before...

How did Bob Marley like his doughnuts?
Wi' jam in.

What did he say when he brought doughnuts back for the rest of the band?
I hope you like jam in too.

Sometimes you have to chuckle at other's misfortune. From the Daily Telegraph, today's date.


Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch, Dave Pimentel, the Grays Harbor County sheriff's deputy, told KXRO-AM radio on Monday.
However, family members found 50-year-old Messenger electrocuted when they arrived.


Mr Pimentel said Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn't see the live wire. The urine stream likely served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body.
Mr Pimentel said there would be an autopsy, but burn marks indicated the way the electricity travelled through Messenger's body.



Apart from 12000 volts, what else went through his mind as he stood there?

That's tragic, but you're right. I just had to laugh.

From the Rules page of the Darwin Awards website:

"Nominees significantly improve the gene pool by eliminating themselves from the human race in an obviously stupid way. They are self-selected examples of the dangers inherent in a lack of common sense, and all human races, cultures, and socioeconomic groups are eligible to compete."

Didn't the MythBusters prove this was just a myth, that a stream of urin can't conduct electricity because it is not a continuous stream but rather a lot of individual drops?

It's a myth. There's a Mythbusters episode on the subject.

It can't happen for multiple reasons, the first one that at human height a jet of liquid disperses into big separating drops that will not allow enough contact to conduct electricity.
It is possible the man walked into water on the ground.

It can depend of the distance between the wire from you and the size of the liquid flow.

Logically you were a short kid with a big....
