Electronics was my hobby in high school. I had a friend over one day. To prove I was a tough guy I challenged him to grab the barrel of a soldering iron.
He wouldn't. I did. I forgot that it was plugged in and got blisters all over the palm of my hand.
I also thougt it was cool to hook resistors up to a power supply, crank the power supply up to 400 volts and watch the resistor smoke. That lasted until I grabbed the 400 volt lines with both hands. Somehow I managed to let go, but I had a lot more respect for high voltage after that.
