How dare you assassinate my plagiarized meme.
Those were rubber movie props. You can see the axe blades fluttering in the wind and from them being moved.

Mockingbird in Safeway parking lot was imitating the sound of squeaking shopping cart wheels. I wonder if that will score him a mate.

Pretty sure that was a vault lid for an in-ground transformer or electric switch....

How do dogs navigate over long distances? Do they remember how far they were driven in a car?

There's still a hot wire running to a GFI, the internal switch just kills the return to disable the outlet. The hot leg, the brass screw, will still be live.

I'm not sure it's real. I would think that the mice would just get a zap and scurry away. One of the reasons AC is used in houses is that it does not paralyze your muscles like DC does.
I wonder if the rodents would have been electrocuted if that was a GFCI outlet.

Its not an AC / DC issue... depends on Amperage.
Edisons electrocution of the Elephant to prove DC was more dangerous was complete showmanship.
Frankly the whole Edison / Tesla battle to power our nation (nee the world) was facanating.

Edison was a DC promoter; the elephant was executed using AC to "prove" Westinghouse/Tesla's AC was dangerous. Also, Edison used Westinghouse AC on the first electric chair for the same reason. Edison definitely had a dark side.

Yep, and they both lost. Westinghouse/Tesla beat Edison, but then JP Morgan used lawfare (threatened to bankrupt Westinghouse with frivolous patent lawsuits) to take AC from Westinghouse and give it to his new General Electric company. GE was created from Edison Electric after JP Morgan used stock manipulation to oust Edison.

@Headset.
I got it backwards apparently. Thanks for setting me straight.
