Lightning hit girls tongue ring !!

I was thinking of getting my tongue pierced untill i read this..
A woman narrowly escaped death when lightning struck her tongue stud in an electrical storm. Becky Nyang, 26, was temporarily blinded, unable to talk and badly blistered by the bolt of electricity that surged through her body via the piercing. Nyang, was on holiday in Corfu when she and a friend were caught in a downpour. A flash of lightning bounced off a nearby archway and hit her in the face, where it was conducted by the metal jewelry in her tongue. The charge was so hot it left her with blisters on her mouth, face and feet and she could not speak for three days. Nyang said, "It hit me and everything was just bright blue. It zapped me frozen. My body shook for about 10 minutes, although I didn't feel the pain until later."
Ok this is dam right freakkky!!!

Been there Done that...Sorry but this is a repost...

First rule of "storm safety": Don't stand under or near objects that conduct electricity.

Fury, I'd consider pericing the gonads to be Liberal, tongue is so so I dont' really care Not much different than ears...but the bollocks? Blah.

Piercing seems to be getting stranger....i seen a 6 year old girl with a nose ring and her brother who was younger with a eye brow piercing...
