Odd News from Yahoo

I don't know what to think of this recent piece of news I found on the web this morning:


Man dies after lightning strikes metal cross

LJUBLJANA (Reuters) - A man died after lightning struck a metal cross he was holding during a funeral in a village near Ljubljana, the Slovenian news agency STA reported Thursday.

It said the 62-year-old man died in hospital Wednesday evening, several hours after the incident in the village of Brezovica. Another person at the funeral was slightly injured.


Seems kind of ironic in its symbolism - but then again, stranger things have happened in recent days when it comes to religious topics (i.e. Fullerton bridge saltwater stain). I really enjoy reading the odd news section of Yahoo News - it amazes and amuses me when I read about the strange antics of people and/or circumstances surrounding their odd behavior...I sometimes wonder if these things actually happened the way they are described in the articles. Then again, as I have seen and experienced in many circumstances in my life, literally anything is possible...
