I am comfortably skeptical towards this one. The author of the article doesn't really understand the science behind static, and neither do the people quoted. I'm convinced there are details that were either overlooked by the people involved or omitted by the author.

So what you are trying to tell me is that there are reporters out there that do something other than "Tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth"?

THE HORROR!!!!!!!!!

Do you mean 'the truth as they see fit to print' or 'the truth as they understand it to be' or 'the convenient truth'?

Blind faith in journalism is akin to making a decision based on a celebrity endorsement. Yes, Mr. Jason Alexander, I will buy a Chrysler because I can't find a better built car.

I think, therefore I am. Those who blindly subscribe to journalistic "truth" do not think, therefore, they are NOT!

if you think too hard, you may singe your nosehair or ear-stalks from the release of bioelectrical buildup in your head.

i was hoping this thread was about Zep's products and neat uses for them.
