Re: 220v through body, light lights, fry fish?
What makes current passing through the body lethal is the fact that human beings aren't very good conductors. The current passing through us gets converted to heat, causing electrical burns.
Thing is though- some people are better conductors than others (for whatever biochemical reason). I've taken some pretty good hits myself with little burning, and x-rays showed that I didn't have any noteworthy scarring on my heart. Likewise, others have died from 110 VAC for no discernable reason :\
It's not the nature of electricity here, but rather the wonders of human chemistry, that is truly the amazing phenomenon.

I smell a rat -- and not a cooked rat.
