This weekend I almost did something ridiculously retarded. In order for you to understand the level of just how ridiculous, you needed the background information. So like any regular Sunday I had volleyball practice, when I came home I stank and not to mention everything on my body was soaking from all the sweat. I immediately ran into the shower. After, I finished showering I got out to dry myself as I was doing this the night light in the corner started to flicker so I walked over to adjust it. ONE major problem I was still soggy like a wet dog, not to mention my hair was dripping every where. I reached over and right as I was about to touch it I realized what would happen to me if I did. I would get shocked, terribly buzzed out. Thanks to Physics i get to live another day. I owe it all to my knowledge of Physics to saving my life. Or so I thought I always wondered if it was an urban myth because I don't understand how you can get electrocuted if your wet. I suppose it's electric shock due to contact. However, does the water deneutralize your body therefore making an electric shock with the electrons from the producer? I hope to learn why in class or may be someone can answer my question.
