Science, snakes, humor, politics.and everything in between. Tuesday, February 6. Dealing with Static Electricity. It's a bit amusing, I suppose, that my issues with static can warrant an entire post, but jokes aside, I hate static! I don't like the way clothes cling to me, how I get a tiny shock every time I touch anything, and how the hair on my legs and arms are constantly on red alert! Solutions are aplenty as well.
