Starting to get off-topic, but...

An electronics professor I had in college talked about working on a Navy submarine. He said when it was really time critical to find blown circuits he would stand on a rubber mat and touch each circuit with the back of a finger. He said he wouldn't get much of a jolt as he was insulated, but he could "feel" the current flowing by his hand. If his arm or hand contracted from the electricity it would tend to pull his hand off the circuit instead of grabbing it harder.

I think he was nuts!!
