In the news

I see Scott Hamilton has a brain tumor. I always knew all that arbitrary skating nonsense ("Look at that Jane, he really blew that triple sopwith camel!”) would cause physical damage to the brain. Poor Scott.

I also see where a 6 year old NEEDED to be tased (Taser).
Was that really the best option? I’ve heard that a cattle prod was approved for classroom discipline. But a 50,000 volt taser? (It’s the amps not the volts that kill you!)

Actually, with enough voltage running through your whole body, enough current (amps) will be generated to kill. Your body is resistance, so Ohm's law applies: V = IR, so V/R = I ... I is current. Sorry I couldn't resist posting to that entry.
