That "stupid wrist strap" as you call it isn't that stupid !!!
As for it having an high resistance it's there for a good reason.
In the event of you using the strap and inadvertantly touching something
at mains potential, you are not likely to DIE !!! 
Apply ohms law to a wrist strap of say ....

2 mega ohms thats 2000000 ohms.

Using ohms law V=IR for a mains voltage of 220 Volts 

Gives a current of 0.00011 Amps .... Ie a very small current indeed.

Alot better than say 13 AMPs going through you.

This still allows the static build up from your good old nylon carpet,
to flow to earth and not flow through your nice cheap StrongArm chip

Remember folks that its the Current that kills you NOT the voltage !!
