I once took a throw away camera to pieces to see how the flash worked. Got 2 electric shocks and almost blinded.

What, one of these fuckers did all that to you?



Did you plug it into the fucking mains and fix it in the bath or something?

I picked one up for £6 or something and was intrigued. So I dismantled it down to the circuit board with the battery and flash still attached.
I crossed the 2 wires that take the charge from the battery, nothing happened. I picked the unit up by the circuit board and I felt an electric shock that made me jump back and drop the thing.

I lolled , looked down at it, couldn't believe that I could get a shock from it. So I tried touching it quickly a few times, nothing, no second shock.
I picked it up. thinking maybe I didn't get a shock. I crossed them 2 wires again. Still nothing. So I picked it up again.
another shock. Dropped it again. I looked around, no one witnessed it. (I was at work, should have been laying bricks, the forman hadn't seen me skiving)

I picked it up again. Crossed them wires again. I got my face really close, pressed the flash button. The flash went off right before my eyes. Blinded me for a few seconds.

This was about ten years ago.

In b4 CSB, tl;dr the usual haters and boog pretends not to read.
