Der
Paring down a cable for an extension cord, so I put it on a chopping block and set about it with my stanley.

Only the extension cord is plugged in.

Next thing I know, there's no lights or sound and I can't see sweet FA.

Turning the breakers back on to inspect the damage shows me a stanley blade with a section about the size of a 5p vaporised.

The only reason I didn't do the electric boogaloo and shit my pants into the bargain was that the knife had a plastic handle.

In a seperate incident, I also sawed open a shotgun cartridge and set fire to the fuel / powder pellets. I was not expecting an instant six-foot tall column of white-hot death - that, however, is what I got; along with a huge hole in the floor.
