OBVIOUSLY should read "this is a myth".
Hey, as long as we are on stories, I like this one.
We know that in order for current to flow, there has to be a complete circuit (a loop), i.e. the generator at the power plant sends current thru a wire out to your house, thru the light bulb and back thru another wire to the power plant generator.
Thomas Edison, the inventor from New Jersey, came up with the phonograph in 1877, but it just set until the record was invented.
He came up with other gadgets like light bulbs, vacuum tubes & such until 1879, when he invented the electric company. His direct current design was brilliant (later proved to be not-so-brilliant as Tesla/Westinghouse Alternating Current, but none the less still brilliant). The electric company sends electricity thru a wire to a customer, then at the speed of light gets the same electricity back, thru another wire, then (and this is the REALLY brilliant part) sends it right back to the customer again! This means that the electric company can sell the customer the same batch of electricity thousands of times a day and never get caught, since very few customers take the time to examine their electricity closely. In fact, the last year in which any NEW electricity was generated in the United States of America was 1937. The electric companies have merely been re-selling it ever since, which is why they have so much free time to apply for rate increases.

Then it seems to have propagated it's self quite by a few billion megawatts since then, spontaneously.
