Lightning strikes at the heart of deadly condition
A Serbian woman has been cured of deadly heart condition arrhythmia when she was struck by lightning.

Doctors were shocked to discover that Nada Acimovich had completely recovered from the irregular heartbeats for which they had been treating her.

They say she's lucky to have survived the strike but that now she's going to live "much longer."

I was looking for a humorous pic to post when I ran across this article:

heard this on the Radio this morning.(9/20/2007)

A Croatian motorbiker’s penis was zapped by lightning as he stopped beside the road to take a leak.

Ante Djindjic, 29, from Zagreb, said: “I don’t remember what happened. One minute I was taking a leak and the next thing I knew I was in hospital.

“Doctors said the lightning went through my body and because I was wearing rubber boots it earthed itself through my penis.”

Djindjic, who suffered light burns to his chest and arms, added: “Thankfully, the doctors said that there would be no lasting effects, and my penis will function normally eventually.”
