Mar 7 2008Trap Lightning In A Block And Make People Think You're Magical, Possibly Score A Girl

Lichtenberg figures look like trapped lightning and are actually "branching electric discharges that sometimes appear on the surface or the interior of insulating materials." Popular Science has a DIY page if you're interested in creating your own, or you can just buy them here and say you did it yourself. I'm just going to buy one, because me and electricity don't mix. And while it's debatable, you may be able to use one to convince the ladies you're a sorcerer or magician. Which, I've heard, works better than telling women you're a vampire/werewolf hybrid in order to get them in the sack. If they don't fall for it though just nonchalantly jam a butter knife into an electric socket. Sure it may kill you, but honestly you weren't going to get laid anyways.
Another picture of how to do it yourself, along with a MUST SEE video after the jump.

Big deal. I can shoot bolts from my fingertips. That's what the ladies really like. Yeah, I'm da bomb.

@Jumpin_J: Thats nothing! I shoot lightning bolts from my dong. That, or the crabs have evolved into an intelligent civilization and are using my pubes as electric wires.
And the ladies don't like it. :( nu-huh.

Isn't it funny how all of these comments show you that your readers have no real thoughts of their own and are merely attracted to content form other people's websites that they must correct you on. Oh and by the way, scoring girls is that last thing on a real geeks mind.
