    Tonight I happened to be witness to a transformer getting hit by lightning. It was showering bright blue sparks all around my truck. I just kinda sat there cowering and called 911. When I could finally move again (which was tricky since all the traffic lights had gotten zapped), I had to navigate many fallen branches/small trees. Guess I should be grateful there weren't any large trees down.
    Gotta love Florida thunderstorms.

    A Transformer? Which one? I hope it wasn't one of the Constructicons.... Maybe it was Megatron.

    Persdonally, I hope it was a Transformer for the new shows, not one of the real originals. Maybe Galvatron.

    Actually, I heard on the news this morning that 2 people in Melbourne (IIRC) were seriously injured in a lightning strike.

    Not surprised. Florida is the lightning capital of the world. Not the first time I've had a close call. It's normal in the summertime. Even everyday thunderstorms can get a bit wild.

    Then there was the Darwin Award from a couple of years back about the guy and his girlfriend 'getting busy' on top of a hill during a thunderstorm, and the cop who was driving a brand new patrol car somewhere in outback Australia during a thunderstorm and was struck, the car was badly damaged and had all four tyres blown but he survived.

    I'll find out tomorrow if my truck was damaged. The tires made it home, however.
    The storm blew up after I arrived at the restaurant for dinner. *shrugs* Normal for this place, if you tried to plan your life around thunderstorms, you'd never be able to leave your house!

    My 2-ton room spider Goliath has vanished. However, Golgotha, a new (and considerably smaller but more vicious-looking) spider has taken up residence. We've agreed not to kill each other.

    Say 'birthday' aloud. Now say 'b-day' aloud. Surprises most people.
