How much electricity does your body produce?
I only scored 217. I don't know why it is so low because I am shocked by every bit of metal I touch in cold weather.

Your Body is Producing 292 Watts!
This is 17% MORE wattage than the average person

* You could light up 3 light bulbs
* You could power 73 iPods
* You could power 1 Xbox 360
* 3 of you would be needed to keep a refrigerator running

12. I'm 233 watts. That means you can plug
58 iPods into me. I'm sure you'd run out of "outlets" before you got that many plugged in though. A few peple might have to share. :P
