Re:Distributor Shockness.....
havent you guys seen how they work on the high power transmission power lines in california? These guys climb right on the power lines from a helicopter and climb all over the lines, even though they are like half a million volts, they can do this because they are not part of the circuit, think of how birds sit on power lines... they dont die. If those guys come within 12 ft of anything grounded, instant flash, they die (became part of the circuit)

exactly like this----v only 500,000 volts
we would tazer the ---- out of each other. it actualy wasnt bad at all. just the first one scares the ---- out of you

Re:Distributor Shockness.....
It's not the voltage that hurts yah, it's more like the amperage behind it. It takes less than one amp to kill a person. And grabbing onto a 120 open circuit will definately give a buzz, but not as bad as when the circuits closed (and has like 9 light fixtures on it and all are turned on...this happened to me). Sounds like nuthin, but it hurts like all hell.

Re:Distributor Shockness.....
i tried to use one of the old timing lights you put in-line with the spark plug wire on my CRX. about 20 secs into using it, it started smoking... kinda supprised and not thinking, i dropped it on the ground infront of the car (big mistake). that made anything touching both the driveway and car body a return path for the ignition system. i'm not sure why the concrete conducted high voltage so well, but it made getting into the car and turning the engine off interesting. i bought an inductive light after that 
.
i read somewhere that if it weren't for your skin's fairly high resistance, a 9 volt battery (like you put in a smoke detector) would have enough power to give you a heart attack :/
