not saying it is not possible but just highly unlikely,
electricity takes the path of least resistance, since there is already a complete circuit it will almost always take that path.

Yes you can, follow this method:
1. put pan on stove,
2. turn on heat
3. wait 10 minutes until water boils
4. insert hand into boiling water
5. OUCH!!! the water is HOT!!! what a shock that would be

No. The electrical current is not being sent through the water, or even through the heating element.

not unless there is an internal short, and ground prong cut off the plug, or you are using an ungrounded receptacle. (Touching any metal part of it under these conditions would probably also shock you)

No you can not get shocked but you get burned just the same

Think about it.....when you boil water on an electric stove, do you see blue sparks?

No but you burn your hand badly so probably equally painful.

only if you are touching an open circuit with your other hand!
