- Error601, on 10/10/2007, -1/+30You know you were scared when you actually create a hole in the back of your jeans.
- sweetrelease, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15i read that and my first thought was "OMG he ***** lightning!"
- nacc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10This guy should go buy a lottery ticket.
- Anrkist, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9S-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-six-sixty-sixty-six times. In-n-n-n-n-n-n-In-n-n-n-n-n-n-In-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n the head!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+93rd time's the charm?
- atdigg, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9That's nothing... read this: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/061201.html
- marcomc2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Double Frick!
- tagnarth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Freaking crazy.
So the first time he was hit was July 27th 1980 (7/27/1980) and struck again 27 years later on was Friday July 27th 2007 (7/27/2007)
Notice a pattern? - mortigon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6"a burned zipper and a hole in the back of his jeans"
Did he get zapped in the crotch? That sucks! - crashflow, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5it would be 7/27/2034
- psbpv3o, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5That would be cool if the lightning charged the cells in his body and he became lightning man!
- DiggChainey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Ever see someone get hit by lightening? Its kind of scary.
http://xoinks.com/mov/view_video.php?viewkey=9dd5a335e807fcfadf6e - superdupergc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3ahem. this story isn't really impressive compared to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Sullivan
- crashflow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It was lightning going in and still lightning going out.
kinda like corn... - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3He's already used .... lightningproof !
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3William Wallace?
- MikeonTV, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5Shocking!!
- orangekid13, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I was wrong, the bible can save you. Just not how the mormons who wouldn't stop knocking on my door thought
if you want the mormons to go away and never come back tell them "I've been disfellowshipped"... some mormon told me that, they're afraid of him too because he actually has been... don't know exactly what it means though. - mortigon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I was going with the 7/27 theme...
- SmackMyMac, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Rabbit: Y'know, in a severe lightning storm, you want to grab your ankles and stick your butt in the air.
Haynes: He's right. If you're gonna get hit it's the safest orifice.
Joey: Yeah, I'd like to get by lightning once, y'know, see what it's like. - redrighthand, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Was he playing Mortal Combat by chance?
- punchingjudy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2So what? A coworker of mine has been directly struck three times and he's completely fine. MOST people will survive if they're struck by lightning.
- Mortiferous, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3So it shot out his ass? Ouch.
- Fanrir, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Dugg just for the fact this person's name is Frick.
- mortigon, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3bet the guy can't wait for 7/27/2027
- Urusai, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Take that, wrathful God! I shake my fist at you!
- peter337, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1pics or it didn't happen =)
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1There was some old timer in the US (Roy Sullivan?) that has been struck something like 7 times, several in the head nonetheless.
http://www.ucar.edu/communications/infopack/lightning/kids.html - BigSax, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"Frick was attending Hamlin's Ole Tyme Daz festival on Friday afternoon when a storm came up quickly."
WTF is a Daz fesitval? Google just returns more links to this same story. - j1ggy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Oh yeah? Well my dad could beat up your dad. Nyah.
- Lobos, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"...emerged a bit shaken with only a burned zipper and a hole in the back of his jeans"
Looks like the lighting had its way with him.
*slaps knee whilst chuckling* - Sube6491, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Am I detecting a subtle Scrubs reference?
- chugger1992, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Now let's see about a direct shock...
- TheFlood16, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4I went to high school with a kid that had been struck twice by lightning. No joke.
- slayerab, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah, you become a temporary flux capacitor and can send yourself to any time period you want
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I'm pretty sure this is the last man on earth who should be considering lottery tickets
- Summons, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1So he'll be struck again on July 27th 2034?
- chance2002iu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1anyone else read this because they were wondering if he got struck twice...in a row?
- FaithclubDotNet, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1So does William Wallace
- hardwareguy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Does the 3rd time come with complementary super powers?
- compgeek, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I think there was a guy in the book of world records that's been hit more times than this
- Hangender, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Then strike him again, and again until he dies.
- cowcowmoomoo1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1My uncle has been hit by lightning twice as well, and is fine. I'm not sure if they were direct hits, though, or if they just hit near him
- wawilli, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Oh yeah? My dad was in the Army and travelled the world 3 times. He never got shot once or faced any wounds other than superficial ones, and because of this my dad's luck is moar better.
- kleash, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1God must hated him
- Shdwdrgn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Probably meant "Dayz" ?
- brainScan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1He had a burned zipper and a hole in the back of his jeans... he must have gotten hit in his lightning rod.
- wawilli, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Oh Frick! Are you alright?
- brainScan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1He had a burned zipper and a hole in the back of his jeans... he must have gotten hit in his lightning rod.
