That professor is a lad. Citing out awesome facts, while also giving hilarious jokes. What a strikingly cool dude.

Dan surprising himself every time he gets a zap is hilarious.

You should film in the folds of a blanket loaded with electricity and unfold it. Between the two during the unfolding there are hundreds of visible electric arc! It must be crazy with a high speed camera. :D
