The story goes that Gary Wells, having just brought home a shiny new PS3, decided to have a party to celebrate the purchase. During said party, he had a drawing to see which of his drunken pals got to destroy his old PS2 in the manner of their choosing--Mike won.
Here's where the story gets not-so-believable. Mike decided the best way to usher out the PS2 was to whiz on the still plugged-in unit. According to FoxNews, this electrocuted him. Though Arrogantics claims to have a reputable source for this story, I'm calling shenanigans.
The Mythbusters did a segment on electrocution via urine stream and found that the flow was too broken up to actually conduct current. Though the stream looks steady, it's actually a series of droplet of varying size, so there's no continuous path from the electricity back to the body. So for him to have gotten shocked, he pretty much would have had to have...erm..the source of the stream touching the PS2. If you have different information, please let me know, but I'm calling "big fat fibber" on this one.
Science. It's a wonderful thing.
