I have a habit of chewing on the cord to my headphones on the computer while I am surfing. I find the idea mildly amusing that I might accidently electrocute myself. Please pardon any spelling mistakes.

I actually do that too.
ME TOO!
I don't think it's possible for it to kill you.
PChis is right, there's simply not enough of a current passed from the computer to those headphones to harm you badly.
Sure, you'll probably get a mild tingling feeling (a fraction of the feeling that comes from the 9V battery on the tongue trick), but it won't be much to speak of.
If you want an accurate simulation, wire a coupld contacts to a AA battery and touch 'em to your tongue. That's roughly the same current as is passed through those headphones on your ears.
Remember, there's a reason that most computer speakers these days have a power plug, and I'll give you a hint: They're not for decoration ;-)
