Reminds me of a time when during a chemistry/biology lesson, some 4/5th
formers were doing games outside the labs and one of them put a javelin
into
the overhead power lines.  It only touched briefly, but burned several big
holes.  It was only due to the fact that he could throw the thing so damn
far - most other puny efforts were nowhere near the cables - so I guess the
games teacher thought nothing of it.
