CHRISTIAN 4TH GRADE SCHOOL TEXTBOOK TRIES TO EXPLAIN ELECTRICITY
Link to the book please, I can't believe this.
I second this, it seems a bit too much on the nose to be real.
Edit: Omg, it's real.
The reviews are hilarious
Funny, that giving drugs to children is illegal, but shit like this not.
I wish people would give me all these free drugs, they're wasted on the children.
Those free drugs are mostly a lie, drugs are expensive.
Fourth grade textbook published by Bob Jones University, and highlighted in a ScienceBlogs post by PZ Myers
I have a high degree of confidence this is real. Looks like the hard work of Bob Jones University Press.

This Artikel about it is really funny

People have most certainly felt electricity.
Mistaking it for being touched by the hand of god, when they were trying to remove the bread from the toaster with a fork.
As someone who did this before knowing it was dangerous I got away with it a ridiculous amount of times.
Your username seems to be weirdly accurate.
It was not a title I chose but one I simply learned to accept.
How was your Operation game? I'm guessing you won a lot.
Also thunder and lightning really ought to count as seeing and hearing electricity.
Hell, seeing anything at all may technically count, because electromagnetic waves.
People can also say where it's from.
Is that really from a book that used to teach children? Holy fuckin hell. No wonder America got shittier every day.
I wonder whether the kids being taught by that book ever zapped each other with static
IT'S LIKE MAGIC!
Then they probably got punished for practicing witchcraft and dark arts.
As an electrical engineer, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
Don't forget holy water in your toolbox.
I didn't know you can't work when the sun is down. Are electricians vampires?!?
Christians are as fucking stupid as djt it seems
Feeding the children since centuries
BRING IT FORTH
What a loser. Everyone who has watched the Pokemon TV show knows what electricity looks like.
I threw up a little in my mouth...
I've been shocked a couple of times, I think I have an okay idea of what electricity feels like
If you really want to feel it you can, very easily. I have its quite the sensation
