This is true, as Xander already pointed out.

Yeah, a certain level of voltage is needed to put a lethal dose of
current through your heart.

Yeah, but albeit not undoable. You can seet up a current in a wire by
moving it in a magnetic field... :)
However, on a different note. I was once in a valley where my compass
went completely mad. The reason? The *industry* in this valley were
represented by a steel-plant, and for melting the steel they used a lot
of power (well, obviously ;). The funny thing was, the steel-melting pot
ran on 3 (three) volts. The current however, was enormous :)
