      I could get 4" (100mm) sparks off round door-knobs   
      during the winter in a high Rocky Mountain town.   
      Were strong enough to HURT. You quickly learned   
      to reach with a knuckle or key. My guess, given   
      the rounded surface, is 200,000 volts. That's   
      enough to trash modern electronics for sure   
      unless very well shielded and smartly designed.   
      
      Hmm ... I wonder how long cell phones last in   
      places like that ?  :-)
