have you ever seen the movie The Iron Giant? you would just get shocked for a bit, fall down in the trees and make a friend with a little boy named Hobart..

unless of course you're not a 50 foot tall robot. Then you'd just die

theres a guy from France than can! i think he's in the Guinness Book of World Records for all the stuff he's eaten. He's said to have eaten (in his lifetime) the equivalent of 10 TVs, 40 bicycles, an Abrams tank, a dishwasher..some more cool stuff.

I was watching Maximum Exposure and it showed him eating plates and bolts and stuff. Pretty interesting IMO

He must have a helluva dental plan.

I think the voltage needed for electricity to travel 1cm is 10k volts...so that's like half a meter high
