Static electricity in the comb attracted the slightly charged paper to it, but when the paper touched the comb, their very slight charge was neutralized, which caused them to fall off.

Can you be charged with adultery in NH if you have already filed divorce papers?

I do not believe that adultery is a criminal offence in most countries (it is in some Muslim countries) so I do not think you can be 'charged' with it. However if you have sex with another person while still married then you have indeed committed adultery. Filing papers is not the same as a decree absolute - you are still married.
