Gents, I'm sure many of you will find the attached clip amusing. There will no doubt be many of you who as a kid, like me, took things to bits without thinking of how to put them back together, and who made it to adulthood by the skin of their teeth. I have many a fond memory of drawing an arc on the anode electrode of an old TV set to see how long I could make it. Also electrolysing salt water using my Scalextric transformer, filling shampoo bottles with hydrogen and igniting it, only to be showered with plastic splinters. Fond memories...!
