There Was Not Very Much That I Found Interesting In The News Today,

the thing is as a kid I remember this happening when I stroked our cat, strangely enough it appears that cats are prone to the phenomena of building up static electricity in their fur, now I know that David Blaine must have read this one as he did this 'trick' in his Street Magic show, the fly resurrection, strange how reading something from a book from 1854 made it's way to television all those years later, magic!
