  • Do you believe in ball lightening?

    A lady in the shuttle told me she watched ball lightening in the midwest. A friend once told me he saw ball lightening move across his kitchen.

        A viable excuse for continually mis-spelling 'lightning' has yet to be discovered...


        'Ball Lightening' might be the opposite of what those chaps who go in for injecting silicon into their gonads do.


        Which is, in any case, mucho yucky, and I ain't linking to it or posting a pic, so there.

          Actually, I believe this is another World Cup thread.

          Lightening the ball by filling it with hydrogen certainly allows some spectacular long-range shooting, but for the goalkeepers it's a nightmare, as it dips and wobbles through the air.

              A ceiling in my grandmother's house apparently still the marks from when a ball lightning shot around her house.

                    I think chegitz has experienced something like that too.

                          Jesus, 6 trample damage for 3 red mana. Even if you can only use it for regular attack once, it's pretty cool. Add to that an enchantment/artifact that works with sacrificed creatures and it comes in quite handy. R type all the way.
