I keep trying to find confirmation on this, but for the life of me cannot find it. If I am not mistaken (which, I just might be...) there is a 300 volt difference in potential between our head and our feet, just due to the fact that we are walking around through the atmoshphere like organic lightning rods...

 

But I can't find confirmation! Sorry. :confused:

The earths axis does not always point in the same direction, it precesses much the way a spinning top does. In 13000 years January will be winter for us down south and summer for you guys up north!

Weird.

DCM, I elect you to be the "scientist" and actually try this. Report back when you get sugar to burn. Also report how much ash was required, and what kind of flame you used. :naughty:
