Night night all... sweet dreams!

Well keep the noise down please while I have a short power nap Annie. ;-)

Cheers.


:) Good nap I hope!

Hi Wiggo! Hi celttooth!

Weird dream. @,@ Not sure if it was caused by flying through so many galaxies at the start - but floating down the river Seine on a large packet of frozen mince (groundbeef) with the British army on one bank and the French on the other firing cannons at each other, was a little alarming. I'd got there after crawling out of a window of the Louvre and hanging off a flagpole which didn't hold my weight. I'd upset some people inside I think. :/ Was rather glad to wake up.

Did you eat some cheese or something before going to sleep? :)

:) No Zapped. Special K. Might have to strike that off my bedtime snack list now. :) I try to avoid cheese at night after I dreamt I was driving a car without brakes and hugging lampposts to slow down around corners. Worked quite well, but everytime I did it successfully, the vehicle filled up with rats. Woke up screaming as I recall and quite exhausted too. :)

Oh. Well they don't count really do they... more like punctuation :) I must say, for a few hours afterwards, everyone thought I'd had another incident of plugging myself into the national grid... :)

When I was at college we had a field trip to the Drax powerstaion. The finale was ending up at the point where the output is fed into the national grid. Stood under power lines at 400 kilo-volts (no mention of not opening an umbrella) we were told that at such a high voltage, the bonds between the atoms of hydrogen and oxygen at those voltages break down. And that is why they "crackle".

I used to walk home from school under Toronto's largest high-tension power corridor (four pylons wide.) When the day was rainy/foggy/misty the lines would hiss with electrolyzed water. I walked under them with an umbrella open once and noticed a coronal discharge in the apex of the umbrella, where the spokes meet the shaft.

So, I did what any STEM-interested kid would do: returned at dusk with a fluorescent tube, which obligingly glowed a flickering green in the intense fields, and waved it around like a light sabre. :^)

Hah... yes, I had shades of Leo at the prow of the Titanic while I was writing that, but I'm sure I looked more like Star Wars Kid to any passersby.

Edit: Oh, and in keeping with the theme of the thread, g'night!
