Roll up, roll up, time for Darwin Awards again.

I wonder if he was using a Selfie stick?

Honourable mention in the world of idiots?

Indeed. The Darwin awards have an honourable mention section for people who don't manage to actually kill themselves and that's what I was referring to.

Lightning took a nice short path to earth through his selfie stick and fried him. I have wondered if the phone was hit or did his family get a good farewell photo. : )

I remember a scene in some girly movie where the guy was sticking metal rods into the beach in a thunderstorm to get the glass that forms when lightning hits them. Cool results but actually planting them during the storm seemed insane to me.
