Once I shortened the positive terminal on the car body with a metal bracelet. The scar on arm is still there. And they say that 12 volts are safe...

It is those cold cranking amps that get you.

anybody remember those tiny plastic submarines you packed with baking soda, then they would rise up with a bubble and sink when it popped? Takes me back to childhood...

Yep. Came in a box of Rice Krispies. Some frogmen were in some of the boxes, too.

Man I wish I had one of those today--I've got a grand daughter now, who would love to play with something like that. No batteries needed.

Yeah...not from cereal box...but toy shop...not tiny bout 4 or 5 inches long and also came with a metal ballast thing that you slid on underneath....and a pack of tablets ...presume similar to baking soda you stuck in them.....seem to remember the tablets lasted like 2 seconds in the bath.....so ended up pushing it around..... ....now would be run by the kids waterproof smart phone with electric propulsion.....must say it had a hard time finding my battleship and escorts in the bubble bath "fog" mountain ......wonder how many kids now could entertain themselves with a few plastic boats and a shit load of bubble bath till the water went cold ...
