~ STRIKE ME NOW ~

the other day when i was walking in the field, i wondered 'wats the possibility of me getting struck by lightning?' ( FYI: it was cloudy...go figure ) i mean honestly, there have been cases where people have been struck by lightning. I heard bout that on ' The World's Most Amazing Videos'...the best part bout that segment is that the victims survived! well anyway, after walking a bit more, i remembered one of my lecturers mentioning that lightning only strikes the highest point in an area. WHY? i asked. He said ' because lighting is made up of charges on the clouds and on the ground reacting with each other. and since charges carry electric energy, they find the fastest/easiest ( actually the least resistance ) route to travel' - oooo...now theres an interesting science fact for the day! *damn, there goes my chances...* perhapz if i cut down all the trees and bring down the field goal post in the field, then it'll work? HAHAHA... think Jim Carrey in 'Bruce Almighty'... " Smite me oh mighty smiter! "

- till the next -
