Took a long shower during a thunderstorm because that sounds like a cool way to go. Bet I'd make the news.

@the_etrain For most deliciously roasted feet:
> You’re not in danger from the spray—it’s just a bunch of droplets of water in the air. It’s the tub under your feet, and the puddle of water in contact with the plumbing, that’s the real threat.
I love xkcd
@admitsWrongIfProven @the_etrain Yep, true - lightning loves metal - like pipes or wires. That’s why they say not to use the shower, electric appliances or a landline during thunderstorms. The unthinkable actually happened to an acquaintance talking on a landline phone during storm. According to the post-mortem report, the lightning entered his body through his mouth (through the phone’s mouthpiece) and exited through the soles of his feet. He made the news.
