Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

I have a theory on this, actually, spawned by a chart I saw once of the electrical affinity of
various substances. Human skin was way off from everything else. I'm guessing this is
because it makes our hands grippier. However, it also makes us effective van de Graaff
generators when touching certain other substances. Odd that cat fur is one of them, as
it to is mostly comprised of squamulose keratinocytes.*

My trick is to touch a footpad with my other hand while petting, thus shorting out any
charge without letting it build up to sparking level. Tricker with cats that are proprietary
about their feet.
