No mention of lightening!
The idea that the triboelectric series is more guidelines than rules was interesting, but the metal-insulator distinction seems a bit off. Is there a triboelectric effect between two conductors? How? Why wouldn't the distribution of electrons even out in a pair of conductors, or do they mean non conducting metals?
And I imagine someone has looked at triboelectric effects between crystals of varying materials - does anyone know?

Put 2 conductors with different Seebecks in contact and you get a... thermocouple (at least?)
