All I can say it is a good thing that we use 110-120 in the USA and not the 220-240 they use in a lot of other countries or I might be dead right now. I don't see why other countries feel they need high voltage connections in homes in the first place. They may be a little more efficient, but if your kid sticks a fork in the outlet, forget it, he's dead.

Actually, it's the other way around. AC is much more fatal than DC. It's just that you got hit by the AC in places where it wasn't going to do much damage. It isn't the voltage that kills, is the amps and the location on the body.
