	We used to blow up 60K electrolytic capacitors in the EE building
	at City college in NY.  we'd attach them to the 660 lines, drop them
	out the window and turn on the juice.  Sometimes the leads would burn
	away before the explosion, but every now and then they'd last just
	long enough...  there are a couple of good divots in the brickwork
	facing 140th street.

	Electricity be fun. :)
