"Dynamo" comes from a Greek word "dynamis" meaning force or power. Not
that the Ancient Greeks would have known the difference between AC and
DC. Or force and power. Heck, they knew hardly anything about
electricity: they generated electricity by rubbing a piece of amber on a
cat.

Rubbing amber on a cat can also equal puncture wounds followed by a
course of intravenous antibiotics.

Well, intravenous is the best way to administer anti-biotic courses of
treatment - it reduces unwanted side effects on the gut flora which often
makes the cure almost as bad as the disease (or, at best, the lesser of
two evils).
