Indeed it took a toll on my aquarium equipment. Great conductor of electricity also.

That sounds like there might be a story behind it. Did someone get zapped by any chance?

If you think the salt water is bad... you should see what the reside from the black powder you burn can do if you don't clean your weapons. I hate firing blanks with the bayonet attached too.

WHO ME ? Never, actually I wasn't aware the plastic had corroded and exposed the bare wire. I reached under the cabinet to get the fish food and it brushed my arm and gave me a shock.

Glad I'm not the only one. Managed to do it twice in a matter of minutes whilst testing various light fittings with a plug and flex. Must remember to take plug out of socket, before disconnecting wire from light fitting. It was like a scene out of the Simpsons 'Hamster' episode.

Good job they trust me with Tasers. What could possibly go wrong.....D'oh!
