This is a question Pointless Experiments

Pavlov's Frog writes: I once spent 20 minutes with my eyes closed to see what it was like being blind. I smashed my knee on the kitchen cupboard, and decided I'd be better off deaf as you can still watch television.

This is a QotW answer Electricity
Licking a 9v battery is pretty funky on your tongue.

Doing the same with a 16V, 5A 1950s (or thereabouts) Meccano transformer isn't so good.

This is a QotW comment Reminds me of an old joke
What's a girl's chocolate starfish and a battery got in common?

You know it's not a good idea, but you'll probably stick your tongue in it at some point

Ba-dum tish

This is a QotW comment We took this a stage further
and encouraged one of our engineers to lick the end of a 24v DC power supply. He is still amongst the living but did lose his sense of taste for a while.

This is a QotW comment I told my sister
that the battery was delicious and that she should try it. She did, only to find it was not delicious at all. Mwah hah hah!!

This is a QotW comment ouch
This is also true of an XLR socket connected to a 50Vdc phantom power supply.
