God smites a jogger
 

Okay, so it's not funny as such:

Sometimes, you just can't win.

Dammit. I've always wanted the power to <b>smite</b> people. Some deities get all the luck.....

goes to show you that living the healthy life doesn't mean you'll have a long one...first Flo-Jo and now this one... maybe He doesn't like runners? maybe he's a couch potato and pressed the *strike lighting* button...

ouch. that's a hell of a way to go

eat right, exercise....die anyway. poor guy.

i was going to say something mean and stupid, but then i noticed that he worked at a game stop. mourn the death of a purveyor of video games.

I wonder if it would have made a difference if he'd had a jogging partner? I mean, okay he's struck by lightning. People survive that sometimes. If there'd been someone else there to restart him, could he have been one of them? No way to tell from this article.

Lightning freaks me out.. when I was younger my best friends house was hit by lightning, and one of the results was that his bed caught on fire, while he was asleep..... everyone was ok in the end though

It's amazing how much random damage a lightning strike can have. A couple of days ago here in the Los Angeles area, a 9 year old boy was struck by lightning and pretty much just shrugged it off. He was taken to a hospital, but he was up and talking in the ambulence. Sometimes people are just lucky I guess.

This is what happens when you find someone's cell phone and you don't return it! :lol:

Or a wallet with $300 in it!

Wow, pretty scary! YOU could be next!

it's a good thing i don't jog

My wife has a good friend in Kansas whose daughter was killed by lightning. The weird thing was the storm was about 10 miles to the west. It was one of those weird events where the lightning hit well ahead of the storm. At the time she was killed, she was hugging her new boyfriend who was 6'7" and was the tallest thing in the area. He died as well. They were standing in the middle of a bunch of friends in a parking lot when it happened.

erm...Whatcho talkin' bout Forks?

That's not exactly something planned or to be prevented :)

If this story is NOT the truth, may I be struck by lightning...

my ex is one of those - goes out in any weather. it clears his head. Too bad he does jog in thunder sorms though.

My father-in-laws best friend was killed by lightning while out jogging. My understanding was that it was a fairly clear day and BAM! He's toast. :confused:

There is a guy who has been hit by lightening over 6 times. I can't remember the number, but I think some deity or something with weather control (Soviets). One lightening bolt was on its way down, said "Fuck it" took a right, went straight through the truck's door, and hit the guy, I think that one made four.

There was a space shuttle that got blown up as a result of a lightening bolt from 10 miles away. That is why they are so picky about launch day weather.

Maybe "God" was trying to tell the guy that it was too hot yesterday to jog.

What? There are only two space shuttles that have ever blown up, and neither had anything to do with lightning. Maybe a rocket, or something. I'd like to know what specifically you're talking about.

After reading this article, I will never again feel comforatable out in stormy weather again. Thanks a lot God.

"I'm a healthy, healthy man! I jog 5 miles a day! I'm going to live a very, very - "

***ZAP***

Just goes to show, you never know when you're number's up. Why waste time jogging when you could be looking at boobies?

If I'm remembering correctly, there was an Apollo launch that was hit by lightning (as it went through the clouds). Suddenly, Mission Control was getting lots of fuzzy data at one of the most critical times in the mission. They almost had to scrub the mission, but steely-eyed missle man, John Aaron asked the astronauts to reboot something and everything went back to normal.

And if I got all this info completely correct, I'll be as suprised as anyone.

Holy crap, I was right. I am sooooo smrat!

Man that sux. i guess his karma caught up to him or something. maybe he did something bad~ who knows?

Death by lightning. What a way to go.

Shit it wasn't a shuttle, your right on that, was a satelite or a probe, nothing too important. I saw it on the discovery channel a year or two ago on the same show as the human lightening rod.

"Hey! You can't smoke on school grounds!"
OH nevermind

Hey- just goes to show you- you never know- everybody dies, so LIVE

This is why I don't jog. No one has ever been struck by lightning while sitting on the couch, eating cheetos and watching porno. It does turn your dick orange sometimes though.
