Nigel - that ain't too smart!

I was working with an 80W iron the other day solder NiCd cells together
when I slipped.  I grabbed the iron, trying to get it to support me.
That's even stupider than trying to catch one.

Fortunately it did only minor damage, probably due to the fact that I had
ice in my Coke sitting on my bench.

Don't stand up, walk around, and try to solder at the same time - doesn't
work too good!
