"That is why Dr. Tesla was able to pass
close to 1 million volts through his body with no ill effects and he was
also able to pass kilowatts of power through his body in the form of
very
high voltage but almost no current. "

	Wait a minute.  He didn't pass "close to 1 million volts through his
body" at all!  Bet the voltage drop was at most a few hundred volts,
with all of the current flowing through the skin.  Likewise, he didn't
dissipate "kilowatts of power through his body".  Perhaps the meaning of
"pass through" is too ambiguous.
