I read this story earlier which is apparently true. I just had to share... 
A guy I used to work with told me this one Monday morning. His daughter and wife were away on a school trip and he had been tasked with looking after the pet chinchilla. So he's sitting watching the television and having a beer, and decides that the chinchilla could do with a bit of exercise, so wanders over to the cage, avoids the slashing incisors and lets it out for a trot round the front room.
As it was a bit chilly, the chinchilla, after a full room inspection, goes and sits on top of th video player underneath the television, enjoying the warm updraft. All is quiet for about 5 minutes and then the chinchilla suddenly takes off vertically, smashes its head against the bottom of the television and repeats this rapidly 5 or 6 times, then lies still. Our man nearly has a heart attack himself and goes over to the supine and now very dead animal......
Well the moral of the story is, don't urinate on electrical equipment.
