Throw away that iPhone during lightning storm

An article in today's Miami Herald struck fear into the heart of this recent buyer of an iPhone -- using such a device can increase your injuries if you get hit by lightning!

It may not seem much to those who survive a lightning hit that in addition to their other injuries, they have fried eardrums or burns along the line of their ear-bud wires. But I'm inspired to strengthen my personal rule not to get hit by lightning.

UPDATE: While writing the above, I had this nagging worry that I was tempting fate. My name, after all, has some thunder in it. Then this evening I was in the parking lot at the Borders in Aventura, with a roiling, black cloud bank off to the west, when there was a tremendous clap of thunder. Well, the iPhone was in my pocket, but the lightning was elsewhere. Whew.
