Crazy people and units of electromotive force.

Well, you say, the ranting of a madman? But consider if the body piercing industry joins with the Magic Magnetic Flashing Light group. On a hot date your girl friend opens her mouth to reveal a winkey blinkey tongue. "Ah, my dear,...", you ask, "how many picoamnps is required to power that jewel and how long will it run?"
"No problem, duckee", she replies. "I have a one-farad capacitor inserted behind my uvula. All I have to do is suck on the aluminum foil coating of a chewing gum stick and the resulting voltaic potential between the aluminum and my lead based fillings will recharge the light in two days."
"But what if there is no ready source of Wrigley's?" I queried.
"I'm working on that", she replied with a mischievous grin. "Did you know you can make hydrogen from saliva? By 2007 we will all have fuel cells in place of dentures!"

The cap is charged by shaking the flashlight horizontally in a rythmic motion making the magnet move in and out of the coil. If I describe any more what this resembles we will have a moderator and I'll get banned.
