if you cant live without music, and you find yourself in one of those situations where you dont have an outlet to charge the flat battery of your ipod, then here's the solution.

might also work to charge out car battery if we get stranded, maybe using something stronger than an onion... maybe garlic?

This takes me back to running a bulb off a potato in Cubs waaaaay back int' 80s.

Have you read some of the comments? How the f*** did America become the most powerful country in the world again?

Oh yeah, I remember, by nationalising other country's scientists.

i was 50/50 for believing it until he just plugged the lead into the onion, you couldnt get a voltage if they are in the same spot
