Cattle die, kinsmen die
You too one day shall die
I know a thing that will never die
Fair fame of one who has earned it.

that was cool and funny. I liked the 'botched' disclaimer at the begining.

Hee.

Love the Tesla coil music.

Damn, the people at the Boston Museum of Science said they couldn't find someone to volunteer to do the plate-mail test.

Tesla coil FTW.  Is it wrong to want to be the guy in the chainmail suit, just to feel that badass? XD
Your reality doesn't apply to me...

That was so cool!  *wonders what kind of Star Wars fan you have to be to try something like that*
Baby, it's all I know,
that your half of the flesh and blood that makes me whole...

Oh, I get it now, he's just acting as a conductor not actually effectng the tune.  I thought he was 'playing' it like a giant lightning Theramin.

One Tesla Coil, enough power to run it, and a suit of FULL chain (there must be a helmet with at least a mesh face guard in order for this to work.)

The reason that this works is because the electricity takes the path of least resistance to the ground.  Metal has a lower resistance than flesh.  This is also the real reason that being in a car in a lightning storm is safe - it has nothing to do with the rubber tires.

So no chainmail bikini??? That was how I planned on funding it!

If you want to wear a chainmail bikini, just make a regular Faraday cage.  There's a lightning exhibit at the Boston Museum of Science that has the presenter inside a Faraday cage while two Tesla coils zap around him or her.
