Edwardian home electrical wiring was scary stuff

Probably my favorite Three Stooges gag ever was in the episode where they were plumbers and mistook electrical conduits for water pipes. They removed the wires from the conduits and connected them to the water supply. Later when the homeowner flipped on a light switch the bulb filled up with water and burst, and water shot out of a television showing a broadcast of the Niagara Falls. Cartoon physics at its best!
