Has anyone actually fried or damaged a part with static?

[Mo0o]

Nope. Ive shorted out my computer a few of times with an exposed molex wire. that was scary

No, and my anti-static habits are quite weak.

No. If anything I feel it's more of a danger to me than to electronics. Hurts like a sonofabitch. :|

Dip the thing in water, you might have better luck.
