Since I overclocked my computer for video gaming, I had the brilliant idea to see if I could overclock other electrical appliances as well.  Naturally, the first thing I thought of was my TV.  Now while I might know my way around the inside of a computer, the guts of a TV are completely different.  So I was just crossing and crisscrossing wires without any real rhyme or reason to the process.  I got shocked once or twice, but I was able to shrug it off.  When the little fire started, then I got worried for the first time.  I wasn’t dumb enough to throw water onto it.  Water and electricity don’t mix and all that.  I do have a little fire extinguisher in the kitchen and I was able to go grab that and put out the fire.  I should have learned my lesson from that, but I really can’t leave well enough alone so I started taking my old computer parts and saw what I could hook up to the TV and a few hours later I had something put together I just don’t know what.  Soon as I switched it on, it blew out the power generators and the whole block lost power.  I wouldn’t have been shocked if the whole city did.
