ISTR an episode of "Mythbusters" that suggested this wasn't possible
(the stream would probably stops being a continuous one by the time it
hit the live rail and thus wouldn't be able to conduct), although
given the reports say he "walked onto the track" perhaps he
accidentally made contact with the electrified line another way.

Electrocution for peeing on a railway track is a very harsh penalty
indeed.

Who the hell is going to do the job that he would have stolen of an
English worker now?

Here to improve his scrounging more like.

You are officially a ****ing idiot. I'm not paying 70% tax so old
moochers like you get a decent pension, and if it needs foreigners
here to pay taxes so you can live a life of riley until you die then
so be it.

Seems to be more a form of karma than a penalty.

I think he's making a pedantic comment about the subject line.

(Electrocution is a form of execution, not accidental death.)

No, electrocution means death by electric shock, whether accidental or as an
execution:

New Oxford Dictionary of English (2001)

"electrocute: injure or kill someone by electric shock: 'a man was
electrocuted on the rail track'"

They even choose the same example as in this case!

Which does in fact say *after* urinating, not *while* urinating.

Go on then, please explain how 70% of your income goes to the state in
a country when tax revenues are 45ish% of GDP.
