An Illuminating Story 2008 Darwin Award Winner

Confirmed True by Darwin

The gentleman in question illegally opened a major power junction box at the front of his house, intending to hard-wire a cable to his garden shed. Unfortunately, he attempted to do this rewiring during a major downpour. The result was all too predictable. The poor chap was immediately deep fried, and declared a Darwin Award at the scene.

Lessons:

1--Don't wire your shed to a local power substation.

2--Don't wire your shed to a power substation... in the rain.

3--There is such a thing as being too frugal.
