Read an interesting article yesterday that goes:

Wearing Underwired Bras Increases The Risk of Getting Struck By Lightning.
Think this article came out because of the frequent thunderstorms during the monsoon season. Most people interviewed did not believe the study. One of them even said something like, "It doesn't matter if you are wearing underwired or overwired bras. I think those with silicon breasts should be more concerned as it could melt in the summer heat. But then again, it might help you to float if there is a flood."

Another article reported that a girl was struck by lightning because of the electromagnetism field around her. She had a handful of mobile phones with her that she was safeguarding for her friends. It was thought that the electromagnetism force attracted the bolt of lightning.
