the witte kat as a kitten pulled out the telephone extension wiring to a 2400 baud modem. when repairing it I forgot to dis the NTE end and found myself holding on to the pairs when my aunt decided to telephone my house, with obvious unpleasant results (its already 50V DC from earth, then ringing voltage of 80V AC on top of this). I still lived in the parental home and being brought up well had to bite my tongue and not swear in front of my parents, whilst the kitten sat on the stairwell and looked very smug.
then as a old cat over a decade later he destroyed the LAN wiring for the house network on broadband, by locating and unearthing a weak point, bringing the entire network down. :hiding:
