@greenpete @badastro Ok, read around.
Looks like 12v isn't enough to overcome the resistance of your skin.
If your hands were *really* wet there might be some danger.
If the terminals were close enough to touch both with your tongue as when testing a 9v battery--you wouldn't want to do that!
Well thanks.

@badastro But.... I find that talking about electricity via analogies to other forces, like gravity, or moving fluids in pipes, are helpful a bit, but always break down. Electricity is it's own thing.

@badastro Model trains usually run at 12v (at full speed). But you can put your fingers on the tracks, and nothing will happen. A 12v car battery, on the other hand.

@mariam_al_masri_author I admit I'd never thought about this bit of history much, but now that you mention it, it sounds pretty interesting.
(Most of my historical interest is a relatively a bit more contemporary, it's the silent movie era).
