In the news: Biker's penis hit by lightning
Posted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 11:03 pm
A Croatian motorbiker will be praying that the old adage 'lightning never strikes twice' rings true.
Unlucky Ante Djindjic, 29, from Zagreb was knocked unconscious when lightning struck his penis during a quick roadside toilet break.Djindjic said: "I don't remember what happened. One minute I was taking a leak and the next thing I knew I was in hospital.
"Doctors said the lightning went through my body and because I was wearing rubber boots it earthed itself through my penis."
Djindjic escaped relatively unscathed from the incident, suffering only light burns to his chest and arms.
He said: "Thankfully, the doctors said that there would be no lasting effects, and my penis will function normally eventually."
The last line made me smile and wince at the same time. But then I was already protectively holding my own at the time.
