I discovered last night that you can see your own static electricity well enough to see by. In fact, without glasses, you see more of a pale yellowish-green glow than individual sparks -- I remember it as being a sort of firefly color.

This discovery was immediately followed by a period of rubbing my cotton robe on my hair and scuffing my feet on the carpet in a (successful) attempt to replicate the phenonmeon.
