What's it like to get hit by lightening?

Are there any lightening strike survivors listening this morning?  Please call because it's so hard to get the ones that didn't survive to pick up the phone.  What is that whole experience like?  Did you change in any way after?

You'd think, of all places on earth, the safest place from being struck by lightening would be Bible camp, right?  Well, four teens in northern Michigan were hit by lightening at a Church Bible Camp.  The four were standing under some umbrellas when the lightening struck.  All suffered burns and numbness to their bodies.

  • Thanks to the Kevin Smith incident, airlines that are too overweight to fly are kicking off passengers who paid the least for their ticket!  It happened on a United Airlines flight from Burlington to Washington D.C.  Families and old people were the first to go, since both groups usually look for cheap deals.  Next time I snag a ticket on PriceLine.com, I'm going to bring a fake mustache and glasses to avoid the shame!  go!





  • iPhone 4 customers can get a freebie from Steve Jobs -- a bumper case that will allow you to finish that phone call. go!
