Yeh, this is a strange story.
The bed frame on my bed is metal. As i was fixing the PC i got a shock and somehow touching the bed magnified the intensity and the pain!
DO NOT sit next to anything metal children!
Any mad stories?

Always de-charge using a metal piece that connects your PC-casing to your central heating system or the earth of a wallsocket when opening a pc!

Always ground yourself before opening ones PC. Other wise the static discharge can be not only painful but can fry your pcs

Yes once well about a month ago I was testing LED's and fans with an old power supply and accidently switched the switch from 230V to 110V and it just went BANG! I was also holding the bloody thing at the time - just went everywhere and I just ran out of the room 
I also couldnt hear properly for the hour or so after that. Its not a nice experience
