I remember when I was a kid...
Behind my grandfather's TV was a bottle of Coca Cola with dirt in it and a
piece of wire
from the TV in the dirt.
I asked my father WTF? (not in those words.)
It wasn't until I started reading about "toobs" and other stuff that I
realized...
In Spanish literal translation, Ground = Earth = dirt (tierra)
So, there was a bottle of dirt connected to the TV.
Rob, you are in the right place. You got some good questins and good
answers. Keep'em comming to try to
get these kids in the NG straight and narrow. Otherwise they turn into black
matter.
