Man struck by lightening while pumping gas.

Michael Jackson knows where he'll be filling his tank.

If he hadn't lied about gas prices not bothering him, God wouldn't have responded.

Seems he's lucky nothing blew up...

Came in here solely to make a Michael Jackson joke. Well played.

Wonder if it helped him spell better than the submitter?

Lightening is draw to areas with flourescent lights.

What's even more embarassing is that the person who greenlit the headline has the ability to EDIT the headline. And didn't.

 
xuanzhiyouxuan 2008-10-04 06:56:40 PM  
I wonder if he's clear of engrams now and can just skip to OTIII.

LIGHTNING != LIGHTENING

/ It's been said already
// Still pushed my button

 
DrForrester 2008-10-04 07:00:42 PM  
We won't be lightening up on you, subby.

 
CTaylor80 [TotalFark] 2008-10-04 07:02:21 PM  
Hey, he done spelled that thing wrong. That thing up inna the place.

 
historymike 2008-10-04 07:02:44 PM  
should have bought a lottery ticket while he was at it.

 
CowboyUpCowgirlDown 2008-10-04 07:05:44 PM  
Maybe it was shortening? Let the Crisco Wars begin.

Or Coffee Lightener? That stuff will burn if you spnrikle it out and hold a lighter underneath. Lightener, I mean.

 
rlbgator 2008-10-04 07:06:08 PM  
I am struck by the darkening.

Win...

 
swamp_of_dumb 2008-10-04 07:13:04 PM  
Did he float away?

 
ukiah 2008-10-04 07:14:42 PM  
Apparently pumping gas is the new Atkins diet. If it worked for this guy, who can argue.

Lighten up, Lumans.

Missing from headline.

Bartender: He's been struck by lightning... how many times has it been now, Reg?
Reg: S-s-s-s-s-s-s-six...
Chet: Six times?
Reg: S-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-six-sixty-sixty-six times. In-n-n-n-n-n-n-In-n-n-n-n-n-n-In-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n the head!

How much weight did he lose?

Submitter is enlightening us with his spelling prowess.

/english, do you speak it?

 
Wonko Fortytwo 2008-10-04 07:53:49 PM  
Barakku Lighten up, LumansLumens.

/FTW

 
MisterTweak 2008-10-04 08:15:15 PM  
Rickrolled by god?

 
The Damned 2008-10-04 08:51:59 PM  
What does the sensation of decreased abdominal distention during the latter weeks of pregnancy following the descent of the fetal head into the pelvic inlet have to do with this guy getting hit by lightning?

Oh, maybe there was some sort of cargo ship removing it's load nearby?

Or a dull or fading of color?

No? None of these?

I don't get the headline then.

Dellirium 2008-10-04 09:45:25 PM  
Damn it!

And yet havening a link to www.dictionary.com is so easy.

/George, is that you?
//Chronicles of George, for those of you that havening not yet heard of it.
///Headlines on Fark are amazingly similar to entries by George. Havening. Lightening. Stupidening.

 
radiumsoup [TotalFark] 2008-10-04 11:48:17 PM  
it's a streetlight.

 
russblv 2008-10-05 12:50:35 AM  
so... I am warned to keep my cellphone off so as to not accidentally light the gas fumes... but Mother Nature can let one off in the parking lot and nothing happens?

 
CowboyUpCowgirlDown 2008-10-05 09:47:20 AM  
It was the dog.

 
My Baloney Has No First Name 2008-10-05 02:19:18 PM  
Lightning strike still less painful than the price of gas.

 
moondo 2008-10-05 07:23:38 PM  
I see modmins have been green-lightening submitions with gramatical errors nowadays.
