    "Electricity is like a kind of water"


    Remember when you leave batteries in something too long and they leak? That's the electricity coming out!


    I was also told that, in days long gone, one of the reasons that the older generation feared electricity is that they believed it was some kind of invisible water like substance. One popular myth is that if you left the lamp out of a fitting with the switch on, this invisible 'electric water' would drip out of the lampholder during the night & pool on the floor. If you stepped in it the next morning it would kill you.


    And this is exactly why I wear rubber soled slippers in the morning.
