<p>Van de graaf?! Van de graaf?!!</p>
<p>They're really cool- so simple, yet so powerful. I have like an irrational fear of them because of a bad childhood experience in a science museum as a little child. And it wasn't just one experience. I hopped on the thing and started getting shocked and shocked and I remember looking down and seeing this enourmous blue bolt hit me in the foot. It felt like someone just kicked me. Then every door knob I touched for the rest of the night shocked me.</p>
<p>Haha, but I'm over it now. My physics teacher has an unnatural attraction to them though. He like shocks himself in the eye and tongue and stuff, right in class too.</p>
