But insulators are precisely the sorts of things that do build up static 
charge. You need conductors to carry away and earth the buildup of 
electrons that causes the static. The anti-static wrist strap is a 
conductor connected to earth.

Balloons are insulators but they obviously shouldn't be put anywhere 
near your PC innards. Especially the dog shaped ones that you've just 
rubbed on your hair ;-)
