Man struck by lightning TWICE and survives

[Phil Perry]

OK,

 

if it's real, then this bloke really ought to go and pick some lottery numbers.

 

It's CCTV footage, so be patient. . . . emailed to me today, just in case you think I use BookFace on a regular basis. . . .( I'd rather eat bits of Ken Dodd's Dad's Dead Dog before I'd do that voluntarily ! )

There IS a GOD.. I wonder what golfers have done wrong? Nev.

Bleedingly obvious to me. Wasting a good walk.

 

 

[facthunter]

Is that enough for god to hit them with a lightning bolt? Nev

 

 

[Old Koreelah]

You know He works in mysterious ways.

 

 

[facthunter]

Yes. I've heard that. Being god, anything would be possible. I'm somewhat surprised believers imagine they can fool him/her, when he/ she isn't looking. HELL I'm just sinned bringing up religion on the forum, but those two bolts of lightning on the bad guy have had a profound effect on me. Sorry Ian, I won't do it again. One I could just pass off, but two in close proximity. WoW.Nev

Actually it was Thor just having fun after a night on the drink.

 

Thor also hates golfers because the put kinks, trees, hills and sand traps in perfectly good emergency landing areas.

AND I'M SORRY TWICE EVERYBODY. . . . .

 

1) FOR BEING OFF (aviation) TOPIC,. . . and:

 

2) [ I forget the other thing,. . .er,. . . . ]

Walking around in a cleared area in an electrical storm and swinging a metal rod high above their head?

It's a fake...

 

 

[Phil Perry]

Glad I said "IF IT'S REAL" in my introduction,

 

There was nowt about it on snopes at that point , although the "Thickness" of the bolts seemed a bit smaller than those I've managed to get in photographs. . .

 

What was the old sying ? . . believe NONE of what you see and only 1/64 of what you find on tinternet,. . ., and you'll get a good average . . .

 

Got a few good Golf jokes out of it though, so the thread wasn't a total waste of time ! !

[facthunter]

And I was only kidding about god. and I reckon Golf is a joke, especially when you get in a buggy to save the walking. Nev

...and only believe 0.1 % of the "facts" passed around the BaceFook website!

I read somewhere that you were 20 times more likely to be struck by lightning than to win cross lotto.

 

Well the 20 times seems a bit excessive, but this story helps me explain to people why I don't buy lotto tickets.

 

But surely there are not 20 strikes for every lotto winner? Anybody on this forum won lotto? Or been struck by lightning?

 

 

[Phil Perry]

Bruce,. . . . with Adobe Photoshop and a couple of add-on programs, you could photoshop yourself a winning ticket ?

This shocking story is just a "flash in the pan", but very illuminating Phil.

I am really glad that we are now getting some enlightenment in this thread!
