Mythbusters pretty much proved that by the time
the liquid hits the ground, it's not a continuous
enough stream to conduct. |
|

I doubt they used sufficiently high voltage |

[MechE], would it not be similar to the experiment run by the fellow in the <link>? I know that in the typical electric fence peeing scenario, how close you are to said fence must certainly be a key variable; however, I certainly wouldn't want to risk "GROG Junior" on the Mythbusters results after seeing this video! That said, the scale tips in favor of BUN! [+] (...and a solemn resolution to improve my aim in the presence of [Voice]'s toilet...) |

The base of a toilet and the third rail of a train are
both very low to the ground, at least a couple of
feet below the relevant standing height. An
electric fence is more or less at the relevant
height. |
|

I would also suggest the stream in the video is
rather larger than most humans produce, and thus
slower to break up. Even so, if you look towards
the bottom of it while he is stirring in the salts,
you can see it is discontinuous. |

Tell you what, [MechE]: You go find yourself a Van de
Graaff generator, climb up on a stepladder, and piss on it.
Report back with the results. |

How is this an improvement on finding an electric fence, and peeing on that? |
