Similarly, when lightning strikes something, it actually strikes it several times, as many different areas of charge use the ionised air as a path down to the object being struck.

So lightning really does strike twice.

Stolen from Alan's fact of the day:

Crab sticks do not actually contain any crab. And from 1993 manufacturers have been legally obliged to label them crab flavoured sticks.
