Worse. Low energy beta radiation. Normally electrons with a KE of ~2V pose
no danger. But when they materialize inside living flesh, there is more than
just their kinetic energy level to worry about. They tend to combine and
form various bad chemicals - free radicals, stuff that have no business
being inside your body. In short, typical rad poisoning. Just happened to me
in an unconventional way.

No. Back then I was a poor kid and cheap IR temp sensors were as
unavailable as a good computer... but I still use my lip to determine how
fast the hard drive in my Ipod heats up...

Gee, Earle. Sounds like I upset you. *Sorry*. Here, have a Valium. I don't
know about those things you mentioned - never felt the emotional need to
kiss induction coils before... Seriously though- you have never done a quick
test on a 9Volt battery by touching it quickly to the tip of your tongue?
If not, then you are most definitly not a typical engineer. Hey, maybe
you're a supervisor? That would make sense then... working behind a desk
from 9 to 5 telling the guys that really do make the circuits how its done?
You know, use a .25 watt resistor instead of a .5 watt resistor and save the
company a penny per dozen units manufactured...

Also, in case you didn't notice, I said this incident happened in 1988. In
1988 there was only USENET, and I only made authorized posts on my
universities mainframe. I don't know, but did this particular newsgroup even
exist in its present form in 1988? That was before my time. However, I have
absolutly no hesitation in using personal stories that have happened to me
or those I know to help youngsters today avoid making those same mistakes. I
am not god, and when the kiddies relaize that I'm as human and as fallable
as they are, it does help to bridge the generation gap. I hope you do the
same...perfect instructors are quickly forgotten because the kids can spot a
phoney a mile off...
