I know this is a lame topic, but last night I was laying in bed and moving my hand around under the covers, and I felt a zap and actually saw a spark of light. I'm familiar with static shocks, but I've never seen light created before. Has this ever happened to you? Is it common place?

Yeah actually if you take a blanket and put your head under it and pull to where you can feel the static electricity you maybe able to see "sparks" especially if you have glasses on

I am almost sure it will because I have done it myself

Yeah it is actually pretty common. As long as it is dark enough you should be able to see it.

Yup very common stuff. nifty, but common...

IT happened to me when I was watching tv in the dark and then i went to swith the light and then i saw a spark from the metal...screw

Thanks folks. Oh, well, it was pretty cool anyway (I'm easily impressed).
