There are some random [coffee table books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-spinning-coffee-table), and then there are [really random beasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deddy-bears) such as this one. It's too strange for even Secret Santa!

It is called ‘30 Ways to Shock Yourself’ and is a [collection of illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks) from the book 'Elektroschutz in 132 Bildern'.

The diagrams outline causes of electrical accidents; they are serious in nature, but something about the red arrows really amuses me. The old lady with the head scarf is brilliantly funny, in a messed up way.
