i was expecting the orange fruit he had there to do something...

[ricktbdgc]

yes your body can store charges, just like a capacitor... put on some wool socks, rub your feet on carpet, lick your finger and touch a ground like your computer case your should get a shock

[TheHellbino]

I could do this with my bare hands for a few weeks before I touched a Van De Graff generator.Ever since then,my body has been without any static charge.Any explanation?

[thecpsimo88]

[tehaznkiddo]

WHAT STRANGE DEMONIC WORDS DID YOU JUST SPEAK SATAN?

[kraknius]

kool i didn't know that they were attracted to neutral ones!

nice vid!

[Sprinkles12345]

well since the rod is negatively charged, the protons in the other object is attracted to the electrons, but the electrons in the object are pushed away.
