[Lab] two mysteries

[Darcy Whyte]

1) I just got this in my email:

Just watching a documentary on the Syria situation. Apparently the regime
cut off power to several rebellious cities, causing a crisis among the
citizen journalists who upload cell-phone videos to YouTube -- no way to
recharge cell phones. So some activist tells the interviewer that they put
two Duracell batteries into a glass of water, wait for an hour, then put a
USB charge cable up to the glass (possibly into the glass). You ever hear of
this?

What do you think they are talking about here?
