Ouchies

This photo was taken from the Urban Legends Reference Page.

According to popular thought, if a guy pisses on an electic fence he risks getting his pee-pee fried. This photo has been circulating the e-waves to show just watch can happen if one takes to relieving himself in such an electrifying manner.

Icky, huh.


However, urban myth debunkers Snopes ascribe the photo to some poor dude with a severe case of herpes who went to a doctor for treatment, which ended up being rather excessive and burnt his member like a snag on a good ol' Aussie barbie (ugh, thanks to my ill-conceived analogy sausage sangas will never be the same again).

Who's hungry?

I remember seeing something similar on an early episode of Mythbusters, where the notion that a guy could get electrocuted from peeing on the third rail of a train track. I reckon the story would be more interesting if they'd tested a chick squatting over the track, but I'm kinda weird that way....

Mythbusters also later tested the Brown Note theory (word up Old Man Brown), popularised on South Park, where apparently some subsonic frequencies can cause human beings to crap themselves. The theory was tested in an empty parking lot, using 24 specially-modified speakers. Hmm, smelly. From memory, it didn’t work.
