i did
just happened to me last week, twice, as i prepared my laptop,
first is when i get it to connect to my macbook air(not yet on)
second is when i wondered why there is a shock when im still not connected to the electric socket. so i touched it again
since that day, i only touch the rubberized white portion

I've been shocked by my iBook plug a few times in the last 3.5 years!
It probably still amounts to less than 20, the tip's not to touch the prongs
It doesn't hurt, just feels like someone's hit your funny bone.

Thats good to know!
I've gotten a few nasty shocks from mine, yes. I haven't been electrocuted yet, obviously, since I'm still alive to talk about it. But it hurt pretty badly. At first I thought it was static, but after it happened a couple more times I decided it wasn't.
No, but I've always had a fear of getting zapped by that.
Somewhat related: after I retired my PB G4, I touched it when it was plugged in and the entire case was "buzzing" with electricity. No shock, just "tingly." Needless to say, that PB won't be charged up again.

Were you using a two-prong outlet?
