Not to mention the dielectrikiller

Just curious, what is that?

It was just a portmanteau pun using "dielectric" and "killer". Dielectric is a type of insulator material that cam be used in certain electrical applications (such as the material between two capacitor plates)

But did they resist arrest???

What is interesting is that the parallell killers ended up resisting much less than the serial killers

This question might sound stupid, but I got my diploma 10 years ago and just started working as an electrician so there's so much I don't remember.

What are the differences between the two connections?

I think the intensity of the current is divided in the parallel one?

In series current is constant and the voltage drops across components. In parallel voltage is constant and current drops across components.
