Electricity:
I have been consuming 2-4 liters of water daily for the past week or so. I wear a lot of wool or fuzzy clothing. The air in my apartment is very dry. I am a lightning rod.
When reaching for my brass keys, laying on the audio cord that connects my mp3 player to my speakers, I generated such a surge that I reset the mp3 player. Didn't touch it at all. Later, I reached out to touch a button on the player, and a 1.5cm bolt of white lightning sparked from (to?) my finger. I winced in pain, and winced more later when I found that I was charged to the point that my arm hair was standing up and brushing the walls as I walked by.
And when people, especially cute people, engage in silly and witty banter with me, I feel like Benjamin Franklin's kite and key, even if I have no hope of anything beyond such exchanges.
