Don't Forget - IPods Attract Lightening!

A New England Journal of Medicine report tells of a Canadian jogger who suffered burns to his chest and neck and also received ruptured ear drums and broken jaw.

Reason - lightening traveled through his music player's wires. 

iPod packaging warns against using them in the rain.

Beepers, walkman players and laptop computers are also dangerous outdoors during storms.

Just to think...most geeks don't have enough sense to come in out of the rain either. And, they are walking around with the laptops!

And what about the guy who listens to his iPod while playing golf?

And, if he gets a phone call at the s

ame time?

We're doing some serious tempting of God now, who despite what Lee Trevino thinks, can hit a 1-iron.iboob.jpg

Lastly...how about the female with iBoobs, surely talking on a cell phone, while playing golf. She is just asking for it.
