I have always wondered what the probability of being struck by lightning is, given that you are actually outside during a thunderstorm. We always use the phrase "chances of getting struck by lightning" as a stand-in for a very low probability, but I think that probability includes everyone, whether they actually venture out into storms or not.

So, is playing golf in the rain a worse option than walking or driving home and returning later on a city street?

These odds are hardly a compelling reason to continue warning about lighting safety given that the resulting behavior changes might be leading to more of the common causes of death.

Sure, as having short spiky upward hairs, compared to long curled and downward hair, I'd say.

A case of self-selection, of course.

Come on people. It's 2014! How is there still a lightning gap?
