- inactive, on 09/01/2008, -5/+40owned
- ZombieKiss, on 09/01/2008, -2/+34See, no one likes a Fuqing liar.
- zadadka, on 09/01/2008, -4/+30The most amazing thing about this is that Ananova is still up and running.
- Ibox, on 09/01/2008, -11/+33I call BS. Chinese don't believe in god.
- beabis, on 09/01/2008, -2/+21If this story wasn't true they wouldn't let them put it on the internet. Ananova is second only to Pravda in credibility.
- Acglaphotis, on 09/01/2008, -0/+18What!? This was obviously the work of Zapdos.
- MooseTaag, on 09/01/2008, -13/+30Oh wow, a coincidence.
- norman619, on 09/01/2008, -7/+24No no no. This is proof Thor exists!
- JammoBlammo, on 09/01/2008, -4/+18Don't taze me bro!
- AeriumWatcher, on 09/01/2008, -0/+13No no no. Your wrong, this is proof Zeus exists!
- bj1989, on 09/01/2008, -1/+13"Oh wow, a coincidence"
*gets struck by lightning* - SmilinBob82, on 09/01/2008, -1/+12"He was immediately taken to hospital where doctors confirmed he had been hit by lightning."
You need a doctor to confirm this? The smoking shoes stuck to the ground weren't a big enough clue? - sgtbutterscotch, on 09/01/2008, -0/+10What a hilarious misunderstanding.
- wrzhydr, on 09/01/2008, -0/+10They don't worship Buddha!
- denoxis, on 09/01/2008, -0/+9He thought that Ananova is the Chinese guy.
- JigoroKano, on 09/01/2008, -2/+11If god exists may he strike me dead before I can reply to this post.
- luzai, on 09/01/2008, -1/+9I'm a Chinese and I can verify that we do have this kind of habit to swear. Normally we say "If I lie, I would be hit by lightning." Don't ***** with mother nature, she has eyes and ears.
- norman619, on 09/01/2008, -3/+10No Karma is in your head.
- benighted, on 09/01/2008, -0/+7It's from a Chinese proverb called:"tian da lei pi"(天打雷劈) the more accurate translation should be "heaven", not god
- bureksir, on 09/01/2008, -2/+9...and if i'm lying may lightning strike president Bush!
- fhernand, on 09/01/2008, -0/+7Apparently he owed him money, too.
- thegamingguy, on 08/31/2008, -5/+11Good thing he didn't swear on somebody's life.
- Bleahdom, on 09/01/2008, -1/+7They've probably translated Heaven to God.
- fhornplayer, on 09/01/2008, -1/+7Don't be that guy.
- dehemke, on 09/01/2008, -2/+8Seriously, this is just probability at work.
There are something like a quasigooglejillion chinese running around. At any given time, at least a few hundred million are swearing to god about something. It was just a matter of time before one was struck by lightning. - GhostM, on 09/01/2008, -0/+6Thor is dead, didn't you see that episode?
- devzor, on 09/01/2008, -2/+7It would be funny if he didn't even owe any money :P
- Karmavs, on 09/01/2008, -3/+8It sure is spacious up in here…
- pandaro, on 09/01/2008, -1/+6@norman619: before I accuse you of not reading the article, perhaps you could enlighten me. Am I missing something here?
- RocquesDiggs, on 09/01/2008, -0/+5LOL, quite the electrifying experience! I have to admit that it took me a few minutes to figure out what you were saying, but once the meaning struck me I thundered my approval.
- ceredron, on 09/01/2008, -2/+7Honestly, through statistical probability, if you want anything possible to have happened, you can just say "It happened to someone in China the other day" and you'd probably not even be lying.
- Wrathernaut, on 09/01/2008, -0/+5JigoroKano is just giving the many gods he may piss off a chance. They are busy. He's confident in their non-existence not to rush to post a reply.
I however, refute all gods' existence, I mean, between the thousands of them man has dreamed up, at least one can prevent me from finishing this sentence - run on though it may possibly be - before I'm done using up all the various punctuation marks (many though they may be)... ellipses don't necessarily end the sentence do they? I questioned, mid sentence, but not breaking the whole sentence; maybe the gods did stop me, and this is my personal hell, writing a really really long sentence for all eternity, but probably not. - juliohm, on 09/01/2008, -0/+5Well, I'm glad I don't owe you money.
- skewer324, on 09/01/2008, -1/+6The burden of proof does not belong with "nonbelievers" for anything, including religion. If I tell you there's a race of aliens that all look like Playboy centerfolds, you don't have to give me evidence that they don't exist; it would be my task to prove it to you, not just assume that we're both right or that we're both equally unable to prove our positions.
- inactive, on 09/01/2008, -0/+4If by shutting up you mean laughing.
- inactive, on 09/01/2008, -0/+4I see you are from Indonesia, my wife is from Jakarta and we lots of friends there. Small world..:)
- GordonV, on 09/01/2008, -0/+4Buddha = Regular Man (who was a royal prince in India) named Siddhartha Gautuma. He was never considered a God or deity.
- Suricou, on 09/01/2008, -0/+4Let's assume the average person swears to God once a year. Assume a valid 'divine retribution' value of one hour. These are pulled from nowhere, but they sound reasonable.
That gives a chance of divine lightening of (1/700000)*(1/24)*(1/365) = 1 in 6132000000.
Times global population of 6.8 billion, and you come to the conclusion that of all the people alive right now, approximatly 111 of them will be struck by lightening after swearing to God. - dougyfresh, on 09/01/2008, -3/+7Chance of being struck by lightning? 1 in 700,000
Chance of swearing to God then being struck by lightning? Enough to screw this guy over!
(now enter your own!) - luzai, on 09/01/2008, -0/+4Hi there! Please say hello to wife or else you too will be ...... ;-)
- passedoutghost, on 09/01/2008, -5/+9Local residents later said that the man seemed to be a little shocked, but otherwise unfrazzled.
(lol I was born in that city. Weird coincidence.) - Janv1er, on 09/01/2008, -2/+5Damn God, you scary !
- RIPtechtv, on 09/01/2008, -3/+6Despite popular belief So Cal does get thunderstorms in the summer time. Mostly south and east of Los Angeles. Anyways I got real mad once at my mom when I was a kid on a real hot humid summer day. She made me real mad and being the young kid I wa I told her I hope at work she got hit by lightning. Well there was a good 3 hours of none stop lightning then some rain. My mom didnt work to far from where I lived. Someone at here work got hit by lightning in the parking lot not to far from where my mom was. It was on the news and everything. They even interviewed here just asking did you see her get hit. Needless to say after that I was a lot more carefull to what I say to her. This was in 1998 by the way.
- ZenMojo, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3Um, yeah, I'm pretty sure that's Tien-Mu's jurisdiction.
- skewer324, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3Yeah. Lightning will make us cower in the caves and beg for forgiveness. You primitives...
- jessenoob, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3That's simply shocking!
- inactive, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3No, not funny.
- inactive, on 09/01/2008, -1/+4he's getting bitched at over 40 quid somebody loaned him YEARS ago? Christ lol
