I just did some kind of nearly fatal science experiment in my kitchen. I was scrubbing the metal stove top with a metal "choreboy" scrubber. It's like a wad of shredded stainless steel. Good for scratching

the hell out of everything, but also gets up burnt on food. And I came around the corner of the stove, near the edge, and was scrubbing hard at a stubborn spot, when an arc shot out from the toaster oven

in retrospect, I can see how wet metal stove, wet metal shavings etc could conduct some electricity. But I've never heard of that before
