One learns in physics, 101 that everything is made up of atoms, atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have a neutral charge, and electrons have a negative charge.
When these charges are out of balance, an atom becomes either positively or negatively charged. The switch between one type of charge and the other allows electrons to flow from one atom to another.
This flow of electrons, or a negative charge, is what we call electricity. Since our bodies are huge masses of atoms, we can generate electricity. A resting male can put out between 100 and 120 watts of energy, in theory enough to power many of the electronics you use, such as your Nintendo Wii (14 watts), your cellphone (about 1 watt) and your laptop (45 watts). Eighty percent of body power is given off as excess heat.

Clericus reformatus,
Only use thumbs down for bad language or abusive remarks. Not just because you disagree with a remark.
My hair remark was for fun, we try to have fun here too........

For the record I like to have fun also, and thumbs up or down is used to signal fun agreement and no fun disagreement in many areas of real life.
