We tested his clothes with a static electricity field meter and measured a current of 40,000 volts, which is one step shy of spontaneous combustion, where his clothes would have self-ignited," Barton said.

Yeah, right. I use a van de graaf generator in my physics class and routinely generate 100,000 to 200,000 volts. I have *never* seen anything spontaneously combust. I'd go on to debunk almost every statement of that article, but *sigh*, not in a repost.
