no real reason to post this, other then to satisfy my own boredom (and perhaps others)

10 commandments of electrical safty---------------------------------------------
-----
(1) Beware of the lightning that lurks in an undischarged capacitor lest it cause thee to be bounced upon thy backside in a most ungentlemanly manner.
(2) Cause thou the switch that supplies large quantities of juice to be opened and thusly tagged, so thy days may be long on this earthly vale of tears.
(3) Prove to thyself that all circuits that radiateth and upon which thou worketh are grounded lest they lift thee to high-frequency potential and cause thee to radiate also.
(4) Take care thou useth the proper method when thou taketh the measure of high-voltage circuits so that thou doth not incinerate both thee and the meter, for verily though thou hast no account number and can be easily replaced, the meter doth have one and as a consequence bringeth much woe upon the supply department.
(5)Tarry thee not amongst those who engage in intentional shocks for they are surely non-believers and are not long for this world.
(6) Take care thou tampereth not with interlocks and safety devices, for this incureth the wrath of thy seniors and bringeth the fury of the safety officer down upon thy head and shoulders.
(7) Work thee not on energized equipment, for if thou doeth, thy mates will surely be buying lunch without thee and thy space at the table will be filled by another.
(8) Verily, verily I say unto thee, never service high-voltage equipment alone, for electric cooking is a slothful process, and thou might sizzle in thy own fat for hours on end before thy Maker sees fit to end thy misery and drag thee into His fold.
(9) Trifle thee not with radioactive tubes and substances lest thou commence to glow in the dark like a lightning bug.
(10) Commit thee to memory the works of the prophets, which are written in the instruction books, which giveth the straight info and which consoleth thee, and thou cannot make mistakes.

Never work on a piece of electrical equipment unless the mains plug is firmly inserted... ...in your pocket.
(Actually, that can be an uncomfortable way to find out about the RF filter in the equipment not having a bleed resistor across the cap, but it's probably not going to kill you)

Indeed thou must draw the lightning contained from a MOC like exorcising a daemon.

Thy body was not created to radiate in the manner of a Marconian creation.

Indeed, if thy were to contact aforementioned equipment it would bring upon much convolutioning and charring which would be most unpleasant.

Thy sizzling shall bring upon many stains to thou workplace if one cares not of thou life and yet is houseproud.

However the prophets speak in riddles so thy must be sure to interpret the teaching as they were writ, as many a poor soul has misread a holy script and measured the current of a mains supply and discovered the godly power that is given.
(Gatedbreakdown, I hope thee is not displeased of my "jacking" of thee thread).
