Tod Durch Stromschlag

Those looking to procrastinate by perusing old German pictures of how to electrocute yourself are in luck. My favorite is the one where the baby seems to be enjoying the taste of an electric plug. Although, apparently, you should never milk a cow under a lamp, especially because it will be drawn as something more sinister. Interestingly, they fail to show an instance of Ol' Sparky doing its job.

These are not quite the nightmare fuel of Der Struwwelpeter, who had his thumbs cut off with scissors by a guy who looks like an evil Willy Wonka. But, as Cartman said, what the eff is wrong with German people?

N.B.- The title of this post means "Death by Electrocution." As always, the beauty and sing-song quality of the German language is readily apparent.
