as a child I certainly did stick things into the electrical outlets and enjoyed the tingle.
I have watched idiots stick screwdrivers into the outlets and cross them with a third... Amazingly, they all only burned halfway through before the circuit blew (industrial building, not a home circuit)
In FL some dude working on a building was carrying some metal rods and touched a 50,000 volt or so powerline. All that was left was some charred bones and the melted soles of his shoes.
Electricity can be dangerous, but the danger is overblown in our lawsuit friendly world, to protect the idiots out there.
Just stay out of the inside of your tube color tv while it is turned on...
