    I tried that with a watermelon. It didn't work. Maybe a seedless........ Or how about rutabagas?

    Citrus fruits worked well. I used a lime for class, just to be "green". ;)

    I guess with a lemon you'd be...........never mind.

    Lemons? Hell Carl could have lighted the world when he lived in the grove.

    Does seawater make a good battery electrolyte? 'Cause I have an endless supply of that at hand.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Oh yeah! Keep your zincs up to date. Metal corrodes fast in saltwater. That is why I like living on the back ass of the Albemarle Sound, it's mostly fresh water. I still have polish for aluminum and stainless if you need it.

    I think that's how Gilligan accidentally foiled the Professor's grand plan to electrify the Island.

    No way that forking fishing rod he used in the first episode was strong enough to fling a late 50's era marine transceiver the size of a 19" Admiral television into the ocean from the beach!
