I've never really believed in this "throw something electrical in the

OK. Go and give it a try. Report back ASAP.


I'm a bit sceptical too. Normally there will be a voltage gradient
effect, but very difficult to calculate.


It works in Bond films. Surely, that must mean it's true?


There are enough incidents of death occurring to make it if not
guaranteed fatal, certainly close to it.

€œit should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism
(or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans,
about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and
the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a
'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,'
a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for
rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet
things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that
you live neither in Joseph Stalins Communist era, nor in the Orwellian
utopia of 1984.€
