I had a small 'book' labeled 'famous nudes". The book had silver foil (and
therefore conductive) covers and, with that title, everyone who saw it
immediately picked it up and opened it. That step pulled on a magnet that
finally released, causing a vibration which opened and closed a circuit
through a step up transformer that just about knocked the holder on their
ass. What a jolt! All this from a single 1.5 volt 'D' cell.

Whenever we had a "rookie" at one AM radio station I once worked for, they
would get an old, burned out flourescent bulb, and walk out to the base of
the tower. Once you got within a few feet of it, the flourescent bulb
would
light up all by itself due to the RF. After that, the part-timers had a
deep respect for the wattage in that tower.
