- drpeppper, on 10/12/2007, -12/+79hot dog anyone?
- webtickle, on 10/12/2007, -5/+62I don't like them burnt. :(
- sdrawkcaB, on 10/12/2007, -2/+57I feel bad but I laughed my ass off at first! Mental picture is funny until it really sets in.
- theone3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+53The dog is STILL ALIVE
FTA "Last night Bailey (the dog) was recovering at home after being treated for burns."
Although I'll bet he's pee shy. If it's still attached.... - vudicarus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29dugg for the description alone! "saw his dog erupt in flames" wow! (and then I read the story, and it's not much more than the description.)
- captinherb, on 10/12/2007, -4/+28I need video! I know that probably makes me sick, but man, that would be something to behold.
- killinger777, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22“There was an almighty explosion and the whole street lit up. I turned round and the dog was on fire.”
LOL. what the ***** is an almighty explosion? - andy101, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18Now that's what I call obedience training.
- nreynolds, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Didn't mythbusters bust this? Or maybe since dogs are lower to the ground it would work?
- tidu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16They should call in Skidboot
- JaytB, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15The Big Bang
- Drewboy64, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15"You Kicked My Dog!"
"You Torched My Dog!" - Roger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13The dog lived!?!
- MScrip, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13I think the Mythbusters tested peeing on an electric fence.
A live power cable has a lot more juice. - Roger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I think they did peeing on a train rail, not a power cable.
- FluxHarmonic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12I hope this turns out to be the most dugg story in history.
- theworldisround, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13NEDM
- TheCasablancan, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12"I turned round and the dog was on fire."
BWAHAHAHA!!! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Everyone just got taken in by a hoax. This didn't happen.
- ZenMojo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Good to see the dog's still breathing.
(Resists a downtowndogpoundhoundbrownout rhyming joke.) - logicnazi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The mythbusters test was unconvincing. As far as I'm concerned they showed that it would not occur in normal circumstances not that it couldn't occur in some weird freak situation. I mean obviously they weren't totally sure themselves or they would have peed on the rail themselves. This suggests even the mythbusters give it a non-negligible chance of electrocuting you.
Anyway it is irrelevant as a high power cable is a totally different sort of thing. You get enough voltage and electricity will ark through air much less a discontinuous conducting stream. - Area51mafia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Mythbusters busted it due to it not being a continuous stream as the piss came into contact with the "third rail". I'm guessing you'd be correct, that the dog being much closer to the ground has a constant stream and creates the needed connection.
- steal_apps01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5aw, so sad everytime something like this happens i think of my dog.
- Sibertank, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Pictures of the dog erupting in flames or it didn't happen!
[/sarcasm] - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4the dog is alive?! that is AWESOME!!!!!!!!
what an awesome story ...
"Yes this is my dog he peed on teh electric wire and burst into flames" - theone3, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Hmm... the only source is the sun, and I wouldn't call them reliable. Possible.
- sneed, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7148 homes? That's hardly a mass blackout.
dugg for the dog erupting into flames, though - YesMoreLight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Suddenly a Digg story appeared before the weary online surfer, "Dog Pee Caused Mass Blackout". What was this? A story not about the Wii or the latest copyright infringement? The traveler clicked on this story with a impulse like motion and then burst into flames, no I mean laughter. After several compulsions of his chest he clicked the familiar digg it icon.
Well done Mr./Mrs. webtickle.
Well Done Indeed. - cornerback42, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3148 homes is a mass blackout? I wouldn't say inaccurate but a little exaggerated. Nonetheless it was a funny story
50 million people - August 14th, 2003, now THAT'S a massive blackout.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_Blackout_of_2003 - logicnazi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3But at least the dog lived o/w I wouldn't have dugg
- logicnazi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It all depends on how the electricity went through the body. People routinely live through lightning strikes which have millions of volts and not too shabby current.
As long as the current avoids the heart and doesn't fry other internal organs you just get burnt. The very fact the dog caught on fire suggests the electricity went through his skin not through the body core. - CaptainWeasel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@logicnazi
They actually revisited the myth in one episode. Adam had some sort of device monitoring his heart rates as he peed on either a third rail or an electric fence. I can't remember the bulk of the details, but it did electrocute him with a smaller voltage. - berfmurret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i was about to say the exact same thing. i would even say that a mass blackout would be more like the dog pissing on a transmission line feeding into a substation servicing a few thousand homes. not 148. wtf.
- NinjaBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I know for a fact peeing on the third rail will kill you. I arrived in Chicago by train shortly after some bum died from pissing on the third rail.
- carpespasm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2the mythbusters said it was busted on the grounds they couldn't get a steady stream. i dunno about other guys, but i can make a steady stream, as such i won't be whizzing on any 3rd rails just because the mythbusters said so.
the do good work the rest of the time though. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Agreed!!!
- drbroccoli, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2There is significantly more voltage and current flowing through those pylons than on a rail track.
- SKick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Last night Bailey (the dog) was recovering at home after being treated for burns."
Hopefully they'll try to repair some of the emotional damage too..
I can only imagine the therapy I'd have to take after getting pissasploded. - CanceledCzech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow, I am such a sick bastard. My thought process while reading the description was "Oh my God! That poor dog... are there any pictures?"
- alej744, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1um? satire
- 47f0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Any other guys out there have the uncontrollable urge to cross their legs reading this? YOWCH!
- VorpalK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"So, you wizzed on the electric fence, didn't ya?"
Don't Wizz on the Electric Fence
(Ren and Stimpy 4 Life) - davy2002a, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1allow me to rebut my down, only losers mod ppl down for no real reason :)
next time someone mods me down then i must ask them to kindly tell me why :D
why? CUZ ITS RUDE! :P
so mod me down ;) - autocracy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A black dog stands in the middle of an intersection in a town painted black. None of the street lights are working due to a power failure caused by a local storm. A car with two broken headlights drives towards the dog but turns in time to avoid hitting him. How could the driver have seen the dog in time?
The dog is on fire. - theonlybigboss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1bitches don't know bout my additional pylons
- tmcdigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ummm.. well, I guess it's revenge for electing Arnold in the total-recall election...
He first did it to you with Power deregulation, and Enron.. now with a DOG?
That man is an evil genius! - bennyboy371, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3And what a source!
- JohnChapin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Has nothing to do with MythBusters or the dog, but there was a guy at my college that would frequently win bets by standing flatfooted on one side of a large car or SUV and "fire" over the car hitting the street or sidewalk.
So if a guy ever asks you to take that bet, think twice, especially if it happens to be in Nashville, though I doubt he lives here anymore. -
