Man harnesses powers of eel-ectricity.

Shit hot shocking news nuggets hit egg-heads right in the world of science last week with the discovery of how to slow down our oil-guzzles and also revolutionise the way we take our baths from now on.

For years and right up until the present day (today) electrics and waters have not been happy bedfellows. In fact, were our trusty friends “leccy” and “water” to slip between some silk sheets together it wouldn’t be long before you would witness a singed valance, burnt eiderdown and a blisteringly hot argument about the pillows.

But a wicked new discovery made by ace scientists has made use of a source of electricity that had previously been thought unusable, and a bit too slimy, and one that is a lot less naughty than the alternatives.

For, after centuries spent thrashing around uselessly in the sea like big electric mistakes, eels of the high-voltage variety have finally had their powers harnessed by boffins in white coats, and pink swimming hats.

The breakthrough for the scientists came with the discovery that electric eels aren’t affected in the same way that we are by electricity underwater. They explained it to us, but it was all a bit complicated.

Suffice to say that soon ladies will be able to blow dry their hairs in the bath, and suicidal telly addicts will not make themselves dead from watching Noel Edmonds while they wash, although they can still drown themselves, if that’s what they want.
