| Fluorescent fun |

If you live near high-voltage power lines you might try standing underneath them at night while holding a fluorescent tube. The strong electric field created by power lines will cause a very small (harmless) current flow through the tube and it should give off at least a feeble glow. Obviously you should never do this during stormy weather and no attempt should ever be made to get closer than average standing height to the lines using, for instance, a ladder, for that may get you killed.
