So I’m sitting here goofing off at the 'puter nosing around C&F, when I hear a familiar little “beboop”. Fishing out my mobile phone, I see on the charge indicator that IT’S CHARGING ITSELF. As we speak. It’s not plugged in to anything other than the impalpable. I am beset with foreboding lest it implode or irradiate my DNA.
WTF??
Perhaps it’s wearing a woolen shirt and nylon jacket?
Nano, it must be your shocking behavior. 
You’re sitting on a fortune there, dude. People have been looking for free energy forever. . .
Harness the power. Harness it!
(Or wait: you’re not wearing a woolen shirt and a nylon jacket, by any chance?)
(Or just nylons?)
You don’t want to know what I’m [not] wearing. 
Anyway, it’s done charging. Hope it keeps doing this in the future. I’m all about convenience. I deserve convenience.
Nano, didn’t you read that other thread? You are gonna combust, dude. Get your clothes off slowly and then put water on yourself—I think water gets rid of static electricity. Wait, just get wet first. Taking your clothes off would rub things around and make more static. You are going to be in Ripley’s Believe It or Not if you don’t do something quick. 
reverse-engineer your phone so that we can build a replica…then one day a larger unit to power a vehicle..
Not to worry, not to worry! Silk teddies are relatively static-free, and it’s too early in the day to wear my amber lavaliere.
…and you would then have a truly mobile phone.
Nyuk.
lav·a·liere (lăv’ə-lîr’) also la·val·lière (lä’vä-lyâr’)
n.
A pendant worn on a chain around the neck.
Doubtless, there is another meaning the dictionary left out? 
Oh, I thought you said lavender lavaliere. You could have a pendant with amber in it. Although why one would only wear it later in the day I’m not sure and would it make static electricity? This is kind of high society clothing, I guess.
Cynth, if you rub amber with silk or fur you will produce thereby a static charge. This was apparently known by the ancients, but they didn’t know what to make of it. The Greek word for “amber” happens to be élektron.
This public service was brought to you by the folks at Cliff Claven Incorporated.
Well, I’ll be! 
And what was it about silk teddies that you missed? 
erm… where exactly did you fish it out from??
Well, it wasn’t exactly that sort of thing.
Have you done anything to offend the phone? Cell phones are at this moment taking revenge on Nigerian scammers.

Gotta love Nigerian culture.
I’m sure it must have something to do with your socks, nano.
I wear thongs in this weather.
Oh, STOP it. You know I meant flip-flops.
Well, that didn’t clarify anything, Nano. I dare say you’d flip-flop in either type of thong…
