Nice thought, but, no.

I believe his first members were before electricity was discovered... ?

First World problems? ?

Check out the sentences I highlighted!  Most of us take forever to find a box we saved in our garage!

Australia's Lost Capsule

 

Officials in Western Australia scrambled over the weekend to locate a tiny radioactive capsule believed to have been dislodged from a piece of mining equipment as it was being transported for repair. The effort is expected to be exceedingly challenging; the capsule, while posing a significant radiation hazard, is less than a quarter inch in size and was lost along an 870-mile stretch of desert highway.

 

The tiny source contains cesium-137, and was part of a radiation gauge used to measure radioactivity in oil and gas processing plants. The device had been packed sometime in mid-January, with the absence of the capsule noticed Wednesday. Officials expressed concern someone would pick it up without realizing its purpose—the exposure risk when standing about 3 feet from the capsule is roughly equal to receiving at least 10 X-rays per hour. 

 

The mining company, Rio Tinto, apologized for the panic.
