- There's is a special museum in Vienna, where they took
- us young budding electronics engineers every second
- year to *show* us, that the stuff we were playing
- around with, could bite.
- "Elektropathologisches Museum". Says it all.
-
- There was a backroom with some pickled remains
- and another one we were never allowed to see,
- where it was rumored they kept some parts of the guy
- who pissed from a railroad bridge. True!
-
- Some of the really smart ones included:
-
- The guy who tried to drive his fishing baits out of
- the ground using two long pieces of wire, an extension
- cord and 220 VAC. Barefooted in the early morning dew.
-
- The lady in the bathtub, whose water grew cold.
- She reached out, grabbed the electric heater
- standing nearby and put it in with her.
- I'm still surprised that she got that far.
-
- Morbidly yours,
- mike
