Navy: 9 v. Killer battery ?
Name of Myth: Navy man electrocuted by 9v battery
History/Background of the Myth: http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin1999-50.html
Hypothesis of the Test: That a 9v battery could contain or generate enough amperage to interupt the heart and cause myocardial infarction.
Ideal MythBuster(s) to Conduct the Test: Someone with a decent background in biochemistry to set up the "body"
Best Method to Conduct the Test: Once a test "body" is constructed, amperage and wattage would be measured from a 9v battery in a test probe shoved into the "thumbs" of the testee.
My Prediction: Busted

Watch
The person who recieved the shock had apparently touched them with hands that had basically no skin on the fingers for one reason or another and the nine volt made a connection due to the better conductivity underneath the skin.
