Direct hit to the lightning rod on the building next door - nice! The cat is a little wide-eyed now.

Why is it that some rods get hit more often than others - better earth?

1. Height. Highest point gets hit.

2. Material. Better conductors get hit more often if there is a choice.

3. Other factors such as wind and rain/humidity play a part too.

#2 means better earth as well... though it's not a sure fire thing.

Have to keep the CIA guessing, Snowden needs whatever help he can find.

And yes, I did take those photos of Hefner's GF's boobs, but it was in the interests of rational insecurity
