Nice method of population control in a badly overpopulated country!


Stupid people exist in every country however.

When I worked for the electrical utility some 20 years ago, we'd see people trying to jumper power from the transformer to their house with automotive jumper cables...or just bare wires.

One older fellow I worked with, (supervisor of the pump dept.) grabbed a downed 12kV line with a pair of insulated Kleins to drag it off the roadway...

He woke up in the hospital with some nasty burns...and retired when he got out.

So what's the differences in power between a power line like that and a standard-issue electric chair?
