Some ppl make alot of static electricity so much that they can not work with computer circuity boards or chips this is direct contact. Like when you rub your shoes on carpet and zap ppl with the buildup only alot more. And blocking radios is not that uncommon. Have you messed with a uhf tv att. and see how easy it is tune in and out by touching it. So yes your body can be used as an att or blocker. As for the lights maybe but more likely the light goes out and you pass, not you pass you made it go out. But than again i could be wrong.
Nope not the same thing. I build my own computers, very aware of static. I know what to touch in the house to get rid of it.
I live in the sticks (American slang for country living), hills and leaves block tv signals or used to before cable tv. We used to have to have three people to tune the uhf, one to watch, the other to pass the info and one to move the antenna. It would always happen that the best signal was when the person doing the moving was in some contorted postion that they couldn't possibly hold for more then 5 seconds, lol.
I called my counselor maybe 3 hours ago, dogs were making noise and I put my hand over the mouth piece, screeeeeech was the sound coming out of the hearing end. It's called feed back for those that don't play guitar. This was on a land based phone line. I can postion myself in all sorts of rooms and directions for the wireless phones, just doesn't matter, they won't work or I should say work well enough to make them useful.
As to the street lights, I do it with certain ones and I do it on a repeated basis. Not 100%, but a bunch. My wife has seen me do it. I can tell her to watch a light and then get close to it and it goes out. I'd have to make an awful lot of static electric to put out a street light
I was just wondering if this was a common trait as like I said I saw the question on the quiz and really didn't have a clue why it would be asked.
