12,000 Amperes.. What do I say to that? HOLY SHIT, for those who don't know, 0.8A will kill you. 0.4A can paralyze you, now think what 12,000A would do..

@crudhousefull Well, he's 43 so he's still older than you would say.

[crudhousefull]

@Eniacbc More like 40

[Eniacbc]

@crudhousefull yeah! He looks, like, 28 now! Gosh!

[crudhousefull]

By god that dude has aged during the past three years. He looked 25 during his last presentation three years ago. The collider has really taken it out of him
