That's ridiculous. I've always thought that it ought to need more
intimate bonding between conductors for current to flow. Even if the
conductors aren't touching, sometimes there's a spark.

Another question. Why do I wonder about such things?

It is all part of the rich pageantry of life.

Oops, it's supposed to be "all part of life's rich pageant" (from _A
