Some crazy electrical experiments form 1854. Some don't sound very safe and others I am itching to try.

That reminds me-

anyone ever used electricity to make a pickle glow like a florescent tube?

another fun basement trick.. Can't wait to try getting eggs to glow too

they showed us the pickel the first day of school.

"Electricity can hurt you"

then they fliped a switch and fryed little green like he was a mass murderer from death row.

Anybody remember the "Violet Wand"?

Ohhhh I could spend hours playing around with some of those experiments...but, I probably would wind up having someone type for me eventually.
