Jumping in late on this one with my own static shock anecdote:
This past Christmas Eve while I was doing my Christmas shopping, I was
traipsing around Northgate Mall in Durham, and I got shocked by:
- a door handle
- a /wooden/ railing (conductive paint? I dunno...just a big
potential difference I guess)
- and a PLANT.
Freaked me out a bit. I mean really! A plant!
