that's nothing. go find an old points-type ignition, and remove the canister-looking thing (condensor). you can touch either of 2 leads, but don't touch them together or you'll be feeling whatever voltage the coil could produce!
that'll hurt you, possible kill you, but if you're in a particularly suicidal mood, this is guaranteed death:
go get your digital multimeter, put it on resistance, and touch both leads to your index fingers. not bad. now, push harder so the leads penetrate the skin and draw blood. blood is a very good conductor, and that 0.5amp of current going through your body will kill you before you hit the ground
