I wasn't that lucky... when I did it, I shorted a cap thru my finger
(fortuantly, just thru ONE finger, tip to knuckle). I was working blind
in a terminal, and I thought some animal was in there that just ripped my
finger off... I was really expecting to pull out my hand and see a stump
where my finger had been. Instead I had a really cool exit wound on the
tip of my pointer (but not as cool as the one on my elbow when I shorted
theater lighting thru my forearm)
