Nicola Tesla's assistant, and test guinea pig (test subject), while doing his thing, before he got seriously involved himself, demonstrating his remarkable achievements.

I hope he (this assistant), got paid well, when Tesla still had some money from Eddy or Westy!

At least it wasn't a poor innocent pooch.

Once was a man named Van de Graaf,

Who had his balls plated with silver over brass.

But in stormy weather, they'd bang together,

And lightning would shoot out of his ass.

The 'tree' command doesn't work quite so well with voice-to-text.

Yea, I guess I'll go out in the back yard and eat worms......but not during a thunderstorm! And, if anything strange happens I won't post it.

Do you realise that you can purchase fingernail clippers at any dollar store or drug store at a reasonable cost?

You don't seem to appear to be the basic average 117 year old Mandarin village elder who with a weird sense of purpose, grows their fingernails for fifty or seventy years, with apparently very little manual labour, during their extended lifelong span, and finally gets their '15 minutes of fame' on You Tube, or in the National Enquirer, turning up to our attention, every few years.

No, please, I would NOT like to shake to shake your hand to wish you a Happy New Year. (never mind catching 'the current' flu pandemic!).

It's not how many fingers you charge at time, it's the size of the discharge probe that matters.

Since he was 3 years old, Bob's parents were looking for a way to prevent his chewing his fingernails.

Other techniques had failed...

This solution, they felt, might actually be the one.

(edit: oops, on thread review, Andy Germany (#22) already visited the nail-biting angle)
