Do electric eels shock themselves?

What a great question, especially this time of year. As you know, prior to the days of Tom Edison, Electric Eels were only able to stun their prey by hitting them with wet sticks, but nowadays, they use electricity. Electric eels do not actually shock themselves, because electricity follows the path of least resistance, and over the years, eels have learned to resist shocks. In the rapidly dwindling rain forests around Kansas, where the few remaining 440-volt, 3-phase, Great Prairie Eels still live, it is illegal to carry one in your pocket during Happy Hour.

Also, on an unrelated note, I find it quite ironic that Sir Isaac Newton's brain is encased in a jar of formaldehyde, and currently used as a PAPERWEIGHT. Go figure! Next, I suppose we will see Darwin endorsing a fitness center.
