For those interested in my original blog on the oscilloscope probe/static 
pickup phenomenon, you might be interested to read another blog commenting 
on the issue:
http://www.edn.com/blog/1700000170/post/1120046912.html

All rather interesting discussion, so I quickly threw together another blog 
(#20) showing the effect again using a regular coax cable, and also busting 
the myth that it's the ground probe loop causing it.
See my blog link below.
