| 463631 | 2006-06-18 04:04:00 | I've always believed it's risky taking a shower or bath during a electrical storm - would this be right? Highly unlikely to be a problem Greg, it would take a truly weird set of circumstances (or an outdoor shower!) to cause you any grief, and anyway, you could then console yourself (from the afterlife) with the knowledge that you went out with a bang and made the evening news headlines. If so I'm sure not going to the loo during a storm again! :dogeye: Well, once again I wouldn't indulge in any outdoor micturition exercises, especially not those involving large metal targets, but otherwise you are quite safe carrying out your normal *cough* bodily functions during an electrical storm, in fact an extremely close strike could well cause an involuntary movement, if you get what I mean. :blush: Cheers Billy 8-{) :D |
