[release] [B] In what may be the world's unluckiest injury — a UK boy has been struck by lightning at 13:13pm on Friday the 13th. [/B] The boy was hit on the second day of an air festival in Lowestoft in the country's east, the [I]Daily Mail[/I] reports. Ambulance crews realised the eerie time the boy had been struck as they were treating him. The boy was taken to a nearby hospital where he is expected to make a full recovery. "This was a very minor burn to the boy's shoulder, but he was conveyed to hospital and is recovering well," ambulance officer Jason Gillingham was quoted as saying.[/release] [URL="http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/7945030/lightning-zaps-boy-at-13-13-on-friday-the-13th"]Striking Source[/URL]
And what is the fucking probability of this event?
Haaaa... awesome. I guess he's lucky his injuries aren't severe.
A bit odd that he was lucky enough to suffer only a minor burn then Superstition is stupid

[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;24053868]And what is the fucking probability of this event?[/QUOTE] Same probability as winning the lottery.....16 times...
[QUOTE=CounterTunes;24053881]1 in a trillion?[/QUOTE] It's the exact same as being struck at any other time during the same conditions.
[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;24053880]A bit odd that he was lucky enough to suffer only a minor burn then Superstition is stupid[/QUOTE]It quite simply shouldn't have made the news. Then again, it's the Daily Mail, so it pretty much hasn't.
isn't the daily mail pretty much the fox news of the UK?
That's shocking.
[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;24053932]It quite simply shouldn't have made the news. Then again, it's the Daily Mail, so it pretty much hasn't.[/QUOTE] Perhaps if he were struck by lightening inside, or with a totally clear sky, or underwater, but this is just dumb.

Thor is really screwing with us.
[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;24053868]And what is the fucking probability of this event?[/QUOTE] About the same probability as lightning zapping a boy at 13:12 on Friday the 13th.

It's the number man! The numbers are everywhere man! :tinfoil:
[QUOTE=Xen Tricks;24053901]It's the exact same as being struck at any other time during the same conditions.[/QUOTE] That's not how mathematical probability works. Stop trying to be a smart ass.
[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;24053868]And what is the fucking probability of this event?[/QUOTE] same probability of getting struck at any other time, on any other day.
[QUOTE=Blackizzle;24054375]That's not how mathematical probability works. Stop trying to be a smart ass.[/QUOTE] Yes it does :geno:.
[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;24053868]And what is the fucking probability of this event?[/QUOTE] well, since it happened I would say about 100%
Heh, unlucky kid. And on the 13th at 1:13PM.
It's probably all the negative energy and bad karma and sinning he did.
