ELECROCUTION

Every cell in the human body is fired in to action by electrons, cells are capable of becoming to overly stimulated such as when you touch a conductive surface of material. When dealing with such things as lightning and ungrounded electrical appliances many people only experience after affects such as tingling numbness and the inability to touch conductive materials without feeling shocks (for a short period of time). On rare occasions death or loss of memory has occurred from the over firing of certain areas of the human brain as the sudden electrical charge can cause a misfire, stopping the heart or killing the brain cells, though the same process is often used by paramedics and doctors to restart the heart.

The theory of a person being able to control electricity in the body to such an extent as to bend it to their will and cause others physical harm has never been scientifically proved and is widely believed in the medical world as impossible, due to the strain put upon both parties involved, more than not killing the cells. Though evolutionists believe that mutations of stronger cells in the future may make it possible as they may warp another to contain electricity without burning themselves out, as is often the case when single human cells are exposed to much electric current...........though I would like to know how some people can light up a bulb if they are not capable of storing the needed extra electricity safely.


GIVE IN TO THE DARK SIDE

In the Star Wars movies, the dark side of the Force is innately tied to the distinctly negative ehtical paradigm of the Sith. The dark side of the Force comes from the hate, anger, fear, aggression, vengeance, and malice in all living things.


POP ROCKS (AND COKE) Pop Rocks is a carbonated candy with ingredients including sugar, lactose (milk sugar), corn syrup, and flavoring. The candy is made by mixing its ingredients and heating them until they melt, then exposing the mixture to pressurized carbon dioxide gas and allowing it to cool, trapping the pressurized gas inside.Pop Rocks Pop!
When placed in the mouth, coming into contact with saliva, the candy breaks and melts, releasing the carbon dioxide from the tiny 600 psi bubbles, resulting in a popping and sizzling sound and leaving a slight tingling sensation.

During the product's heyday, rumors persisted that if a person ate Pop Rocks and drank cola, their stomach would explode. The company spent large sums sending out flyers to debunk the rumor. This is, in part, caused by the false assumption that pop rocks contain an acid/base mixture (such as baking soda and vinegar) which produces large volumes of gas when mixed through chewing and saliva.

The most famous of these folklore involved a child named Mikey from the Life cereal commercials. Mikey was reported to have died after eating a Pop Rocks and cola mixture. The rumor is false and the former child actor who was in the commercials, John Gilchrist, is alive and well.
