Well, I thought as much. Not only is there the fact that there's no complete stream, but if one's standing on the platform, wouldn't they be insulated from the ground? Where would the complete circuit be? And, I like that show as well (although I've only seen it a couple of times). Loved the episode about jumping in a plummetting elevator just before hitting ground... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
