They say the odds of being struck by lightning are one in a million, but a Croatian motorcyclist has beaten those odds — and then some.
The last thing Ante Djindjic could remember was stopping to take a quick toilet break while out on a ride.
The 29-year-old then awoke in hospital to be told that lightning had struck his penis.
"I don't remember what happened: one minute I was taking a leak, and the next thing I knew I was in hospital," Djindjic told Metro.co.uk.
"Doctors said the lightning went through my body and because I was wearing rubber boots it earthed itself through my penis."
Despite the strike, the motorcyclist received only minor burns to his arms and chest and was assured that his penis would function normally … eventually.
mythbusters did a show once where they said pee leading electricity was a myth. Because it's really just alot of single drops, not one continious flow.. they tested it with peeing on an electric fence..
I can assure you that persuading a naive friend to pee on the wire of an electric fence will produce a shock. Anyone growing up on or near a farm can probably do likewise.
Man, I was just thinking, that bolt probably fried all his soldiers.
Rest in peace boys.
Yeah, but they were "expendable" anyway.
And I can absolutely confirm that peeing on an electric fence will sober you up fast.
