I've had cases at work where there is an open neutral. The neutral not tied to ground because of a break in the line and there was 70v AC induced on a wire that was hooked up to nothing. Electro magnetic fields. Who would've thunk it. That's why neutrals and grounds are tied to earth ground.

Really? So if I put a super long wire accross miles I could actually get a big voltage on it like that? Did not figure so much energy was in magnetic fields and air waves. I know it's enough to power a small radio using a small coper wire as antena though since I've done it before.
Electricity can be your friend, but can also be your ennemy. I know both sides of it.
