SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian man built up a 40,000-volt charge of static electricity in his clothes as he walked, leaving a trail of scorched carpet and molten plastic and forcing firefighters to evacuate a building.

Frank Clewer, who was wearing a woolen shirt and a synthetic nylon jacket, was oblivious to the growing electrical current that was building up as his clothes rubbed together.

When he walked into a building in the country town of Warrnambool in the southern state of Victoria Thursday, the electrical charge ignited the carpet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That pizza farm is cool.

I guess I'm not surprised drame is a real word, Sophia, but I couldn't get into that link, even with signing up for a free trial. Hmph.

I know. I think the commercial carpeting, must have been the final spark. What season is it in Australia right now--late Winter, headed toward Spring?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

He's not the drummer for Spinal Tap, is he?

I was thinking "latent member of the X-Men."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
