Don't mean to laugh, but...Christ struck by lightning |
|
This amazing photograph gives whole new meaning to the phrase "May God strike me with lightning if ..." Rio de Janeiro's world-famous statue of Christ the Redeemer was struck by lightning during a thunderstorm over the Brazilian city on Sunday. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=513855&in_page_id=1811

3. I would imagine that happens a lot... |
|
It is the most prominent item around there. Probably hard to capture on film, but it's a natural lightning rod.

put out there to begin with to act as a lightning rod. Or did I dream that? It's so long ago I can't quite remember but that Christ was considered the protector.

8. I'm sure it happens in most storms |
|
hidden by cloud cover. It's just great to see it clearly photographed.
The Jesus Christ in Mark and Matthew would be deeply offended by that thing. He'd much rather the money have gone to relieve the suffering in the Favela.
