iPod + Lightning = Bad Day

MethodShop: Teen's iPod Struck by Lightning: "It was just two weeks ago that the British Medical Journal warned of the dangers of using a cell phone during a thunderstorm. The doctors said having such devices near your head when hit by lightning can result in even more severe injuries... Maybe they should add iPods to that list.
On July 6th, a Colorado (USA) teenager named Jason Bunch was mowing the lawn and listening to his iPod. The next thing he knew he was lying in bed bleeding from his ears and vomiting. Believe it or not, Jason's iPod was struck by lightning."
Ok, so its not really
that funny. I do feel sorry for him (read the full article, it has a picture of him post-strike); I mean it. I just couldn't help but snicker at an iPod being struck by lightning. (Espically while playing Metallica.)
