I had a high school physics teacher who gloried in the name Wazzle Abrat.
 He told us that in his formative years he and a friend ran an experiment 
whereby they threw a length of chain over a set of power lines - the 
result was, to say the least, explosive.  He suggested that such highly 
technical scientific theories could only be confirmed by careful first 
hand repitition of the validating experiments - I refuse to say anything 
more on the grounds that I might incriminate myself, I do know, however, 
that a three phase flash bulb is pretty bright (he he)

Kindest Regards
