    Seriously, Jon?
    Well, OK. I suppose it could have been a cop that had hooked the taser up to a big generator. hmmmm. That gives me an idea I'd like to pursue.

    Seriously 2 -- it did seem like the lightning bolt was horizontal at ground level, but maybe that was just the viewable portion of the bolt as it hit ground and skimmed over the surface. Wait, I'm going to look again. What did it hit in the water, maybe a log (?)

      Sigh...guess not: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/lightning-striking-a-river/

      When the video is slowed down, it is easy to tell that the “lightning” strike doesn’t come from the sky, but from a wire on the hill. Here’s a screenshot showing the moment of impact (which can be glimpsed at the 7-second mark in the video above):

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I don't buy the explanation. And, George is a wet blanket. Next, he'll insist that UFO's aren't real.

        OK. So, they decided to blow up a stump, using 10 times the explosive necessary? On the History Channel swamp people shows, they dive down and attach cables. But of course it could be, that there are no cables in Europe. And why would a cable, with a rubber sheath around it, look like lightning, hmmm?

        It was God. Fishing.

          I was hoping to see a mermaid go belly up because they remind me of all the girls who rejected me.

          Education is extremely important.

            Probably just the trans women who rejected you since the mermaids lack pussies.

            Only non-witches get due process.

                    That snail would make a great interesting pet. I wonder if you can house-break it.

                        She could have just as easily lost her calf.

                        Black bears are like giant kittens compared to Grizzlies. But if they think you're food and are hungry enough, they can easily cut you to ribbons.

                        This woman's mistake was letting that bear get so close in the first place. I mean I get it, freeze and appear non-threatening is a go-to for people, but those three should have scared it off.

                          So you’re saying you wouldn’t want to personally step in to break up the grizzly fight I posted above?

                            I'd pull out my phone and do exactly what the person recording it did. Except I might have to edit the audio afterward to mute out my pants-shitting, depending on how close I was.

                            I've been up close to black bears a couple times. They're freaky enough.

                            Please love yourself.

                              I think I mentioned this in another thread on bears

                              (BTW, we have more than one??? 5555)

                              If it is black, fight back
                              if it is brown, lay down
                              if it is white, good night!

                                Think about how many hominids had to die to pass that heuristic down to us.
