Everybody said that soldering 5v stuff onto mains voltage could not be a wholesome experience. Apparently, they didn't tell Mehdi because he just went out and made it one.
Fun fact, even if you try to hold a breaker in the 'on' position, it would still trip the exact same way. Pretty smart design (to stop pretty dumb people killing themselves or others).
I could, but it wouldn't do much of anything unless a path through my body had considerably less resistance than the water between the conductors in the duck.
