You know the ones, those lamps that turn on when you touch any of the metal places. How do these things work? I can hold a piece of conductive metal and touch it to the lamp, and it doesnt change. I can hold a wet paper towel and touch it to the lamp, and it changes (I just found this one recently, until then skin was the only thing I had found that worked). Also, my cats paws wont work, but his nose will… Surely they are magic.
