That is one of them, but I also know several others. The majority of the traps I know are for the purpose of alerting an intruder. These include stringing the door so that opening cause the light to turn on, or opening the door triggers a measuring tape to recoil. I also know how to wire a doorknob to deliver a minor electric shock to any potential intruders. I don't have a manual or anything, I have to concoct one using various implements in my room. It always helps to have a full toolbox however. -------------------- Jesus is a pacifist. Ron Paul for '08! Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |

Our school had carpeted floors that really built up static when you walked over them on dry summer days. I got zapped by a door handle so hard once that my finger kept hurting for several minutes. From then on I made it a practice to keep contact with metal (railings, locker doors) while walking, at all times. Unfortunately, this eventually turned into a minor OCD problem. -------------------- The Noble and Ancient Order of Polaris - We're Not Yet Dead.

Now how strange do you think that would appear to fellow pupils. That might even earn you a nickname. -------------------- Jesus is a pacifist. Ron Paul for '08! Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |

quote:Whoa, the same thing happened to me. There's some very static-y chairs at school and Hebrew school. At first I'd touch the metal screws on them in order to get shocked, and then sit down safely. Now, I'm more skittish for some reason. My jacket's really bad, too, so I run my hand up my locker before putting it on the hook. I guess I've been a successful shock-absorber. I'm starting to quit, though! Definitely! -------------------- "Of course, not all technology is good. Some is exactly the opposite (bad)." — Dave Barry Posts: 458 | Registered: Friday, August 6 2004 07:00 |

Normally, I don't much mind static shocks. (In fact, I was one of those kids who slid down the plastic slide then ran to touch something metal immediately afterwards.) But I learned very quickly to be careful around my rug and chair whenever I had my headphones connected to my computer, because shocks to the inside of the ear are just unpleasant.

The most powerful static shocks I have received are from trampolines. -------------------- Jesus is a pacifist. Ron Paul for '08! Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |

For some reason I keep getting static shocks while at work. Like all the damn time. I get so many shocks from the scanner that I literally fear touching it. I know it sounds childish, but after 20 it starts getting to you. Posts: 1035 | Registered: Friday, April 1 2005 08:00 |
