OK. Say you have a wire hooked up to a battery, and you hook that up to a metal coin. The coin will conduct electricity, the charge can flow through it. If you hook the same apparatus up with somthing such as a bagel, or other non-metalic or non-conducting object.. can that object ever conduct electricity? If enough current is pumped? Or somthing?

If the object is truly nonconducting, the answer is no. However a bagel is not really such a good insulator, with common battery voltages it may seem to be one, but if the voltage is high enough current will flow, the moister the bagel the more current it will pass at a given voltage.

Haven't been insulted on 360 but here i have been many times. Worst - There was guy called "taking a piss" a sad guy with a fake id going around calling all Arsenal fans specially me a 'wh---' and an 'ape'. Hes a United fan, i know him, hes mostly around in the UK section but sometimes comes on to here. I wont say whom, it will create a lot of trouble. He must have a really really sad life to come up with a fake id to insult someone for no reason.

Two ways:
Apply enough voltage and anything will conduct electricity.
I would think that if you cooled something enough that it would become superconducting.
