Wrong...You would have fried ALL your parts, ALWAYS ground yourself (wear an anti-static braclet for one).
Bull Shit, While yes, you can help prevent static discharge by grounding your self, you would actually be better off NOT grounding your self and completly isolating your self from a ground. If your workbench is isolated with a few inches of rubber from the floor, and your were sitting on it with nothing on it plugged in (This is how I do my PC servicing at work) there is no possible way to fry a PC. As long as there is no path to ground, there no chance of frying components. And it wouldnt fry all your parts, just the first on your shocked.
I'm going to have to agree with surfi here.
