    Some fantastic pictures there. Amazing stuff.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Lightning on your balls! ouch

    This docu I watched was concentrating mainly on Sprites and this other form of lightning which shoots straight up into space.

    It's incredible how little we actually know about it. Up until the 70's textbooks stated their was only one form of lightning, called Negative lightning, but then they found Positive lightning which is the same in that it strikes downwards but is 6 times more powerful and lasts for 10x longer (even though we are talking milliseconds here).

    gotta love lightning.... considering it takes about 1000 volts to jump a 1cm gap in perfectly dry air.... and there you get a flash over 2 miles long.. in the rain... marvellous
