Wouldn't you think that something made of metal would attract a charge rather than repel it? Of course, I took "Meet Mr. Electricity" out of the children's library as an adult and I still can't remember whether it goes to the positive pole or the negative pole. (Don't remember what "it" is, either. Electrons, maybe? Volts, amps--see what I mean?)

BTW, don't we have a few plesiosaurs around here? I don't recall having any pterodactyls.

You would think, but apparently they work quite well at what they’re supposed to do. It evidently (IIRC) direct the charge around the body rather than through it.

It’s been a few years since I saw the documentary (I was still in Hooterville Junction) so I may have a few things misremembered. A lot of information has gone through this old bean since then!

The plesiosaurs are probably still in the moat where Bob left them. Who knows what mischief they’ve been up to since we left Loch Ness?
