I have to say, regardless of my feelings about the film, that this is pretty darn amusing. [Smile]

Ha! That's hilarious!

Seems someone else has an opinion about Mel's new movie, too... [Wink]

I guess lighting can strike in the same place twice, if it really, really wants to.

The link article to the anti-semitic arguments was very interesting as well

You know, the first time you get an attempted ( [Razz]

) electrocution standing on a hill holding an umbrella, maybe that would clue you in to NOT DOING THAT. That is pretty funny, though.

Am I the only one here who find this deeply Shocking?

(Or am I the only one here with the guts to make that comment?)

::reads Dan's pun, bolts out of thread::

sorry - pet peeve correction:

It's not ELECTROCUTED, TheTick. The word electrocuted means they DIED in the shock. Fatal. Always

It is just "electrical shock" if they survive.

Even more shocking information.

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

This is an excellent story to tell to uninformed people. It is the sheer improbability mixed with the irony...

[ROFL]

Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :

I stand corrected, although I'm curious how the misuse of such a rarely used word could become a pet peeve. It would be quite a shock to me that you would be exposed to electrocution so much.

The Tick. I'm curious too, Farmgirl--why does that get you so amped? [Razz]

Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :

Watt are you talking about, Mormo??

Posted by Mormo (Member # 5799) on :

Ayelar, before I degenerate into electrical puns, thanks for linking that, it is one freaky story!

I don't think you have the capacitance to understand, Tick. [Wink]
