Steve Grey has 'Passed' .

[Nungali]

Stephen Gray  was an English dyer and astronomer who was the first to systematically experiment with electrical conduction. Until his work in 1729 the emphasis had been on the simple generation of static charges and investigations of the static phenomena (electric shocks, plasma glows, etc.). He also first made the distinction between conduction and insulation, and discovered the action-at-a-distance phenomenon of electrostatic induction.

 

He  died in  1736 .

Is this the world's first recorded O at a D?

I am  not keen on this 'at a distance stuff ' .

 

I prefer quantum entanglement .

What is this "O at a D" business? Is this something that was en vogue here when I was away at Original Dao?

I believe this came from a guy called Drew who used to post here a lot, he shared a story that at one point he could make girls orgasm from a distance by intending it (or something to that effect)
