Electrocution means to be killed by an electric shock, which I don't think anyone here has seriously suggested.

It's important to note that children are more easily electrocuted than adults so a shock which may make you swear and shout, could be lethal to a 6 year old.

... and what if the kid has an undiagnosed heart condition?  Risking deliberate or negligent electric shock is *TOTALLY* unacceptable.

Does anyone remember the TV program "Dinosaurs" (done by the Henson people)?
The characters watched a prehistoric TV program "Watch Mr Lizard", where the catch-phrase was "Time to get another Timmy!" after each experiment.

Could always do an electric pickle. Looks cool, but then you realize that that breaker doesn't trip and the pickle is cooked, just like you could be.
