Static electricity can be fun, when you have a long-haired puppy! -via Rue the Day!
From Kham4002 comes the amazing Staticy Cat, Nosey, with his new best friend, balloon.
Just what YouTube needs. Another funny cat video. :)
The inspiration for this video came from our cat actually getting the balloon stuck on himself without any help from us. He had been playing with it for quite a while before he walked over it and got it stuck on his stomach. We decided to re-enact the event.
The music is called “The Alley Cat Song” originally by Frank Bjorn. Not sure who did the MIDI version.

Reporter and former Green Beret Michael Yon took a series of intriguing photos of glowing rotor blades as a helicopter lands in a military base in Afghanistan. The eerie "halo" is caused by static electricity generated as the titanium/nickel blades move through a field of dust (which is kicked up from the ground as the heli lands).
The phenomenon, striking as it is, has no name – and Michael decided to name it the Kopp-Etchells Effect, as a tribute, after Corporal Benjamin Kopp and Corporal Joseph Etchells, who died in battle.
