I can understand static dissipative clothing (for working with very sensitive electronic components).

And during a dry cold winter I've considered attaching a little wire or chain from my pant's cuff to ground me (every time I touch an iron or brass doorknob I get zapped) - carpets all over the place.

There was one instance where a co-worker's 2-way pager (those alpha numeric doo-hickeys with a little keyboard) got fried from a static discharge! [Linked Image]

But for the life of me....a bed canopy made out of shielding material? Hmmm...

I wonder if all those bad dreams I get is because of the stray EMF fields from the pillow speaker I use to listen to late night radio shows!!! Oh wait...that was an ultra-religious station I had tuned into by accident [Linked Image]
