[LargeFormat] A most useful manufacturer...

[Brock Nanson]

The catch is: Current = Voltage / Resistance

If your body has a fixed resistance, then grabbing hold of 220 results in
twice the current of 110V!  And as Mark says, current is what makes you
dead...

There's a real good reason why Australian outlets have a switch for the
socket!
