Q: Static electricity coming from the macbook - HELP!

Hello everyone! I have a Macbook Air, bought it during Christmas 2010. Whenever I have the charger in the macbook I can feel an uncomfortable static electricity in the area at the left and right of the mousepad. Have anyone experienced something similar? It is quite unpleasant!

    The only suggestion I've ever seen for this problems is that you use the three pronged power cord on your power unit.  The two pronged adapter doesn'st provide the proper grounding.  I had that problem also and using the three prong plug seemes to work.

    Why don't they sell it with a three pin charger. It emits so much static with the two pin its sold with. Its very dangerous. It has harmed me very much. I will get a three pin charger but this is not expected from a company like Apple. I am very upset.
