Question. If I was in the middle of a flat field and there's a thunderstorm, and there's no cover, what do I do? Should I crawl on my belly?
Cause, while standing under a tree in the middle of a field is dumb, just standing in the middle of a field is also not quite good.

Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job.

The question is: How did you end up in a flat field with a thunderstorm going full force around you? I mean, they're not exactly the sneakiest things around, one would assume you'd have enough warning to seek cover of some sort before it hit.Shroom Man 777 wrote:Question.

I mean, like these ten dead guys. All they apparently had was a flat field and a lightning-conductive tree. They didn't think of crawling military-style out of the line of fire, and the thought wouldn't have occurred to me either if I was caught at the moment and all.
At least we can learn something from the misfortune of other people

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier
