I liked the particle accelerator story the most. I can’t imagine that’s happened very often ( at least that we hear about ). Is it too late for a complimentary “Hadron Collider Survival” shirt for the guy ?

It always aggravates me when stories about people being hit multiple times by lightning say, for example ” lightning never strikes the same place twice. Tell that to Roy Sullivan ” the go on to enumerate the many times he has been struck EACH TIME IN A DIFFERENT PLACE! The lightning has struck the same PERSON multiple times but not the same PLACE. The saying is therefore not disproved by this example.
It is disproved of course by lightning conductors etc which are obviously hit multiple times.

My seventh grade science teacher (former park ranger) worked with the guy who got struck by lightning seven times. that must have been an interesting job

I wonder if that old guy from the Benjamin Button movie was based on him. I also wonder if he had witness (other than his wife) when he was hit. So crazy! And neat!
