Remember that line from Braveheart? "And if he were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse."
A woman in Australia has performed a surprising and unexpected reenactment (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,20548077-13762,00.html) of this.
She said: "I had just put my mouth under the tap to rinse away the toothpaste when the lightning must have struck the building.
I don't remember much after that, but I was later told that the lightning had travelled down the water pipe and struck me on the mouth, passing through my body.
It was incredibly painful, I felt it pass through my torso and then I don't remember much at all." Doctors at the city hospital where she was treated for burns to the mouth and rear said: "The accident is bizarre but not impossible.
She was wearing rubber bathroom shoes at the time and so instead of earthing through her feet it appears the electricity shot out of her backside," a medic told local television news channel, 24 Sata.
Is it horrible of me to think that the jokes are presently writing themselves?
