    Is it wise to be _in_ the bed?

    If they're under the bed, it's easier to mop up the puddle.

    Don't get out of the car for three days though. The static discharge will kill you. Or turn you invisible. Or give you some other super-power, I forget which.

    I love those tropical storms. Been caught in a few. Once got hit by a flash storm while travelling on a glass sky tram over to Sentosa in Singapore. Lightening bounces off the cable cars and dancing all around.

    We were the last on, looked back to see that everyone else had been stopped. You could feel the heat of the electricity it was so close.
