Sadly, whenever I give that kind of explination to most people, I get that 
exact same response. =D (For those of you who haven't looked at the clip, 
watch it and it will explain most of this post)
By the way, what component do you think the squirrel served? I'm thinking 
it would best be one plate of the capacitor, seeing as it holds a 
respectible amount of water, salts, minerals, etc. Probably would not have 
a positive outcome on the squirrel though. =D

You probably can't see it from there, but I'm rolling on the floor
with laughter, after viewing that clip... that was hilarious
(albeit technically truthful). Talk about junkbox coils! 8-D
