A WOMAN has suffered severe burning to her anus after being struck by lightning which hit her in the mouth and passed right through her body.
Natasha Timarovic, 27, was cleaning her teeth at home when lightning struck the building.
She said: "I had just put my mouth under the tap to rinse away the toothpaste when the lightning must have struck the building.
I don't remember much after that, but I was later told that the lightning had travelled down the water pipe and struck me on the mouth, passing through my body.
It was incredibly painful, I felt it pass through my torso and then I don't remember much at all." Doctors at the city hospital where she was treated for burns to the mouth and rear said: "The accident is bizarre but not impossible.
She was wearing rubber bathroom shoes at the time and so instead of earthing through her feet it appears the electricity shot out of her backside," a medic told local television news channel, 24 Sata.
"It appears to have earthed through the damp shower curtain that she was touching as she bent over to put her mouth under the tap. If she had not been wearing the shoes she would probably have been killed by the blast."

Best line of the movie.....:)
WHo lord that girl was pissed -- she was burning holes with her eyes and shooting lightning out her ass.
Nope - not doing that. Ya can't make me....;-)

Hey Natasha - I hear Uranus got zotted.
There was a limerick along these lines years ago, but this thread will have problems enough surviving without me posting it.

And the Mighty Mods would ZOT *me* for making it....;D
General/Chat: Where good threads go to die.
The ZOT is strong with this one.
You're gonna eat lightnin' and you're gonna crap thunder!
" If she had not been wearing the shoes she would probably have been killed by the blast."
I don't see the logic of that statement. Had she been barefooted, wouldn't the lightning have gone to ground through the soles of her feet? And that being the case, the resistance necessary to get to ground would have been less than having to jump to the shower rod, therefore doing less damage to her. And since the current would have been passing through her upper body in either case, I don't see what difference it would have made to her vital organs.
No chance that she was just taking a dump after eating some bad mexican food and just came up with the lightning story on her own?
Preparation H should make her fell better.
I must admit this has never happened to me. Last Saturday I woke up FEELING like this had happened to me, but then I remembered the jalapeno pizza I ate the night before...
