On the weird side of things: There's an electric eel in Japan that is powering the lights on a Christmas Tree.
Say it with me: D'oh!
I ain't kidding. See this treehugger article and the youtube video.
Does anyone know of eels feel pain when they discharge? I seem to remember something like that, but I couldn't find anything on Google.
The real question is: is this an energy solution? What if there were a farm of these eels - thousands of 'em - would the electricity be enough to do anything useful, given the expense of keeping the eels alive?
Let's just hope Detroit doesn't figure out how to run a car on eel-power....
