Full credit goes to my high school chemistry teacher. Cattle (and other ruminants) spend a lot of their time rechewing (or masticating) their "cud".

OMG I thought I was alone! Have you tried the "Words for Granted" podcast?

I'm the middle of building that shop. I figure it will be done when I'm dead.

Also, RadioShack in spirit - it's called The Source now and it's on the death knell, but they're still around.

The feeling of 120V is not great, but not terrible. You've got to remember that the electric fence is made for pain, though.

Getting shocked.

I used to help my father-in-law on the farm and he had an electric fencer for the barnyard that was way too powerful for the length of fence it was hooked up to. I knew that; what i didn't know was that it was grounding out on a piece of flashing on the barn. It put me on my ass.

He also has this electric fencing that's made out of rope with small metal strands woven into it. That shit hurts too but in a different way. Maybe because there are more points of contact.

I got shocked doing some wiring last week and it was nothing compared to the electric fence.

A blind man would be happy to see that. (About a task completed poorly on a jobsite)

The conventional ordinance dropped on Tokyo killed many more people than Little Boy killed in Hiroshima. The Japanese barely surrendered after the nuclear attacks. I would suggest listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History miniseries Countdown to Armageddon if you want to know more.
