Wow:
A VICTORIAN man conducted 30,000 volts of static electricity in his jacket today but walked away without a scratch.
Frank Clewer, from Dennington in the south-west of the state, left a trail of burned carpet and molten plastic through the nearby city of Warrnambool.Authorities later tested his polar-fleece jacket using a device that measures static electricity, and said the dial initially went off the scale before settling on a figure greater than 30,000 volts.
Read the whole thing. You may be swearing off fleece jackets. (Yeah, I know this is a total freak thing, but still ...)
