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!

As I know this list has a number of very creative individuals on it, here
is my somewhat off-topic problem for consideration:
I discharge on darned near anything I touch lately. Even sheetrock walls.
If I brush against the wall, *zap*. I touch the stansion pole on the
subway car, *zap*. I flip on the overhead light in my cube at work,
*zap*.
It's getting annoying, not to mention shocking, and sometimes downright
painful (paricularly, say, when I go to get in the car...).
Wasn't this on the pilot of Global Frequency? :-P Of course, I don't
think you'd like the solution they used...
Cheers,
Tanner
