Oh that's why

Europe doesn't use real electricity anyways

Oh that's why

Unless the metals are in contact, there won't be any smoke.

Not everything out of the ordinary is dangerous

There's not enough AMPS in Europe to kill a person

110v/60hz is more dangerous than 220v/50hz anyways

I believe that's just a good thing

Because you're bald anyway

Electricity
The power supply in most of Western Europe is 220-240v @ 50hz while the power supply in the US is 110-120v @ 60hz.
The US voltage is half that of the UK so appliances will draw twice as much current to produce the same power. Since the heating affect in a wire is proportional to the square of the current, you will notice that wires get hotter and need to be thicker than their UK equivalents. On the bright side, you're less likely to kill yourself! US outlets are not shuttered, so inquisitive chidren with metal sticks can get in trouble...
