If the thread dies, we'd miss the pissing contests, which I always enjoy.
Though I do have to point out, pissing contests too close to electricity is hazardous.
Just saying.
Just for you I will keep it going.
No, please, do it for all of us.

As I said: it isn't about burning through the flesh. It's about disrupting the signal that causes your heart to beat properly. I am not going to provide proof. Believe it or not.
Crap, now I feel like Ripley.
Wait... you said that piercing the skin with a 9v battery would cause the blood to boil, and also produce holes in the heart. In saying so you talked about AMPS and VOLTS... not frequency.
This is all pretty interesting stuff.
Could you walk me through where you need to pierce the skin in order to produce this blood boiling effect?
You also, hilariously, talked about the iron content of blood and how this affects things. Do you actually know the resistance of blood.
(Hint - I do!)
I think he is, vaguely, and I mean really really vaguely, referring to the process of blood boiling when being electrocuted. I give you this referenced quote:
quote:
Around midnight (this schedule for purposes of illustration only; times vary from state to state) we transfer you from Death Row to a cell next to the death chamber. At 5 AM or so we shave the top of your head and the calf of one of your legs, so as to permit better contact with the electrodes. A couple hours later we read you the death warrant. A few hours after that we take you into the electrocution chamber and strap you into the chair at the wrists, waist, and ankles, in the presence of witnesses. (Again, the exact number varies from state to state. Sometimes the witnesses view the proceedings from behind a one-way window.) Electrodes are clamped to head and leg.
At the designated hour, an electrician throws a switch and a high-voltage alternating current surges through your body for two or three minutes--typically starting at 2,000 volts at 5 amps, with the voltage varied periodically. Your muscles will instantly contract to a state of absolute rigidity, causing your heart and lungs to stop immediately. Some medical observers go so far as to say your blood will boil. If the guards have been careless and bolted you in too loosely, an arc may jump from the electrode to your body, searing your flesh. If you're lucky, you die promptly. If not, you get another jolt. Nobody, to my knowledge, has ever survived this process. By and by the doctors examine your remains and certify your decease.
Many years of scientific experiment have gone into making electrocution the refined art it is today. First suggested in the 1880s as a humane alternative to hanging, the practice figured prominently in the dispute between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse over the merits of direct vs. alternating current. Claiming the latter was too dangerous, Edison thought to prove his point graphically by equipping Sing Sing's new electric chair with one of the competition's AC generators, an application for which it proved to be admirably suited. Unfortunately, upon being presented with their first prospective victim, one William Kemmler (he had murdered his girlfriend), the executioners seriously underestimated the amount of juice required. They burned him for a mere 17 seconds, at the conclusion of which Kemmler was still twitching slightly. The current was thereupon reapplied for another 70 seconds, causing one of the electrodes to smoke. Westinghouse later commented, "They could have done better with an ax." Still, Kemmler could safely be said to have expired, and a new era was born.
Please note that is with 5 amps... Significantly more than a 9 volt battery. Electrical engineer
