Yeah, I know I’m a day late and a dollar short, but man ignites office building due to static cling. Yeah, seriously, he built up 40,000 volts in his jacket by wearing the wrong clothing combination and set the carpet on fire by walking on it!
When I was a kid, it was “it’s all fun and games until somebody loses an eye”. What cheesy saying would you come up with to warn children of the dangers of static-inducing fashion? “It’s all fun and games until somebody sets the carpet on fire” just doesn’t have that ring to it.
Maybe “sure, keep scuffing your feet until you set the house on fire!” or something.
EDIT by matthew: He set the carpet on fire not on “floor”. That’s what I get for writing blogs in the middle of the night!
