I have an odd problem involving electricity.

This was originally posted on Yahoo! Answers. No one could find a solution to my problem and someone sent me here.

My house was not humid at all.

I'd like to start out by saying that I don't believe in magic, I'm not on drugs, and I honestly have no idea what's going on. A couple of weeks ago I fell asleep in my room with the lights on (I know the details are pointless, but I don't want to miss anything). When I woke up, I went to go on my Alienware M17X. The night before I slept with the lights on I didn't go to sleep at all. I started to type and was literally shocked by the side of the computer. I thought it was a jab or something, so I kept going. The electrical shock hurt. I got shocked again, and again. I decided to leave my computer alone and go up to my dad. I rested my chin (yes, rested my chin) on my dad's MacBook Pro, and found that I also got shocked from it. I touched the surface and felt a weird feeling on it. Like vibration, but only when I moved. I asked my dad about it and he said that he had never felt that. I forgot about it for a couple of days. The next couple of days, I was cutting some meat so my little brother could eat it. I was shocked from the metal knife, and immediately there was a small burn mark on my finger (it has healed well, but it's still there). Many, many other cases have happened and they all hurt like hell. I walk on my bare feet and I don't drag them. I drink mainly water and sometimes juice. I don't think I'm developing supernatural powers. I just want an explanation, and any would be great.

Additional Details I would like to add that I also felt the shock on my brother's laptop. I would appreciate someone reading all of this before dismissing it. If my father never felt a vibration, why should I? Why would all of the laptops in the house have this problem, and only for me? Why would I get shocked with a knife? I told you: I'm not on drugs, I don't believe in magic, and I don't believe in superpowers. I would like a rational explanation.

It's very puzzling. As I doubt my body can conduct electricity, I don't know how the knife shocked me. But I still have the small burn on my finger. I wouldn't joke about this, if anyone is wondering. There's no point. I appreciate all of the answers, but if there's a doctor or scientist who might know what's going on, I'd appreciate your answer even more. Thanks.

An electric shock from a push bike

When I ride my bike underneath low slung power lines (large National Grid cables) nearby I get a shock from the handlebars. This only seems to happen if I'm moving.

I connected a digital voltmeter which recorded values up to and off the scale of its 600 volt limit (I have a short video of this). The other peculiar aspect (which I noticed on the video) was the the bike speedometer showed fluctuations from about 8 mph (around the true speed) to over 30. Any ideas about why these things should happen?
