According to this, an average adult human body at rest generates about 81 watts of electricity. A person walking can generate around 163 watts. That's enough juice to power several light bulbs, if our sockets weren't otherwise occupied. Perhaps that is why I found this sculpture, part of the recent Jersey City Artist's Studio Tour, so compelling...or compelling enough to snap a picture anyway.

Light bulbs symbolize ideas, and this guy seems to have plenty. (I get lots of ideas while lying down too.) Strange that the ecologically correct compact-fluorescent bulb is in his crotch, though. That's not usually where one would want to save energy, is it?
