   > 10M chip resistors might work for some tasks.   
      
   This is an interesting idea, though one intuitively would want the   
   resistance to be as high as possible. I did some quick Internet research   
   to see how high I could go in resistance without the resistor getting   
   expensive. I would think for my purposes a through-hole resistor would   
   be more ideal, allowing me to solder on a wire and then still have room   
   to clip a lead on, or what not.   
      
   I see that 10 megaohm resistors are quite cheap, of course. On mouser,   
   through hole resistors up to a few hundred megaohm can be workably   
   cheap, like 50 cents each at low quantities. The gigaohm resistors all   
   seem to be quite expensive.   
      
   I wonder if one can get, in some form, a simple insulator with leads   
   attached.
