Licking batteries is always fun.

I once sat there petting my cat which was rolling around on a wool blanket. Sparks were flying.

lol i get that all the time=p like every time i see a staircase with metallic railing and insulating floor (which is just about every staircase in the world xD) you'll hear me go "uh oh..." you get used to it after a while=p
the funniest thing with static electricity was when we were messing around with a van de Graaf generator at school, and i was charging up for like 5 solid minutes, and i call my teacher over and i go "Miss, touch my hand!!" We were all laughing for the rest of the lesson ;p

Technically it's not a static shock, but try asking a teacher to draw a graph for you, and give him a shock pen. They never see it coming :thumbup:

Static electricity shocks are often in the multi-kilovolt (kV) range. Fun stuff :w00t:

Lol, I thought of that too.

I don't have any special stories about static electricity although I have been zapped plenty of times, but I do have a friend who got a shock pen a couple years ago. Then some kind of insulator in it fell out and things turned around a little :lol:

 

[chaosassualt]
