solar hacks and some cool stuff www.bigclive.com/makendo.htmSome of this stuff could be dangerous, so be careful. I swear, I was just looking for directions for making those cute solar mushrooms for the garden when I found this.

OK, I may be inquisitive, but there's a lot of electricity involved in this one. Tell us which ones you try, Gayle!

Electricity is magic, even in small packages. "It's just a battery!" is what we always told the little kids when we got them to lick the 9 volt!

Man, it's been years since I've licked a 9 volt! I used to like doing that.

I liked watching my younger brothers do it, better than doing it myself.

I'd demonstrate it to get other people to do it - "See? It doesn't hurt". Worked every time.

didn't it always have a weird taste? I kind of liked that taste, just not the jolt that went with it.

Yeah, it has a metallic taste, kind of tart. I didn't mind the jolt until I got a few fillings. They seem to intensify it.

Thanks for that warning! I have some fillings and a gold crown! That would probably knock me out, now, if the juice went through the crown straight into the root of that tooth! (The didn't root canal it; the root was good, just the tooth was cracked and letting air get onto a nerve.)

I must be slipping. I've never warned anybody in my life.

Joan, battery lickers grow up to be hold-my-beer-and-watch-this people!
