The wires between the pylons are actually hollow- how else can you get currants to pass along them
The 'buzzing' is in fact the bouncing around of the currants en route you can hear!"Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

The overhead wires are a sham - all they do is Buzzzzzzzzzzzzz to convince nutters like Mikey that they are doing something.

Those are big statues to be powered by double A's, you'd think they'd use D's at least.
If currants run along the wires, is that why so many birds sit on them, they are waiting for lunch to pass them by?I'm only here cos I got on the wrong bus.

You want a rational answer? Although I do like some of the nutters explanations ...
Try holding a fluorescent tube from a light fitting under themNever test the depth of the water with both feet
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....
Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
