Electric Sportscar

A bit expensive, but how can you not like something called the Tesla Roadster?

Speaking of which, we went to the vintage book fair today, where I leafed through an early-20th c. book of Fun Stuff for Boys - in the section on static electricity they casually remark that of course, after dragging your feet on carpet for a while you can use your finger to light the gas taps. That would have been way more dramatic than just zapping somebody on the nose.

That's so neat: one of those small, useful details about earlier lifestyles that would never have occurred to me.

Brilliant text!
