    In an undergrad electronics lab class, the TA suggested I put the function generator leads on my tongue, and play with the parameters. Obviously I know what an applied DC voltage “tastes” like, but he suggested AC, sweeping the frequency. Sure enough, above a certain frequency (want to say 10s to 100s of Hz?), I couldn’t feel it at all.

    Fun stuff.

      I know enough about academia, electrical safety, people and hygiene to find this plausible, reckless, funny and revolting respectively, but not enough about any to know which should win.
