Just been trying to fix a HP Laserjet printer, as had water damage, so left to dry for the past week in a warm place...
Got it all & did usual tests to make sure all the tracks on circuit boards were ok & no signs of moisture, etc, then replaced the fuse & plugged it in...
switched it on...
One hell of a mighty CRACK & loads of sparks - was cool! There were lil bits of ICU's flying all over the place & then just went BANG & started smoking/crackling...
PCB now has a massive big fook-off crack down it, 2 capacitors have literally 'disintigrated' and about 3 IC's have also just vanished!
Was coooool! 
I wana do it again

I been electricuted by a mains supply before, just made my arm feel funny
best one is if you get a cheapo disposable camera with a flash & wire up a prong or something to the capacitor in it & charge it - you get around 180-200 VOLTS of raw power to electrocute people and/or blow holes in the sides of beer cans
Yes... I got bored when I was in high school & waynes world was to blame for it

well, you connect a wire to each side of the cap, charge it & discharge it on something!
tis quality if it holds a good charge! You can also blow the queens nose off a 2p coin & give her acne due to all the pits
