Silly me. All these years I believed it was amperage that kills. 
Then you tell us we're not people, either!

120 volts is indeed the voltage that "kills" the most people, in that it's the one that most people come into contact with and get killed. However, as 480sparky correctly pointed out, it's the current that kills.

I would guess 120 as it is the most common voltage the general population is exposed to. Very few housewifes have 277 volt coffee makers, or 480 volt espresso machines.

Honestly I forget alot. I hate it. For example I can hardly ever remember funny parts from a movie I just F-ing watched unless I watch it a hundred times, but I can remember weird stuff though. Alot of it seems like meaningless and obscure stuff, but interesting at times.
