The guy just needs to be more grounded.
Maybe somebody told him to go fly a kite.

You would never know it, but m&m's give off static. When I did the one job at the m&m plant. I got shocked from everything I touched.
We had to put 5000 kg of m&m's minis into these large nylon bags.

LOL, I never thought of it like that.
Actually, the mini packaging line is at the other end of the factory from where they go through the lettering machines. They get put in the bags and then the bags are taken to the packaging area.

Ha ha, sounds like the Tide phrase.
When Rosie wades in the water, all boats rise.

His clothes were measured by firemen as carrying a current of 40,000 volts, the Reuters news agency quoted Mr Barton as saying. If they had measured a "charge" instead of a current the article would have made more sense. There is really only a small amount of energy, but humidity was probably very low and this energy is enought to ignite other chemical reactions. From my work around explosives, I can tell you that at this kind of humidity the facility would have been closed. Also we only allowed 100% cotton clothing.

It's an old joke from (IIRC) Saturday Night Live. Round about the time Richard Pryor had his little incident, I think. I think it was long before the Michael Jackson Pepsi commercial thingie.

Oh, ok.
I have studied SHC somewhat, and from what I know there are few reported cases. I thought maybe you had another source. Thanks anyway.
