Thunderstorm

There is a thunderstorm right now. While I was talking away to Chris about things that are scary, it occurred to me that I mildly worry about peeing during a thunderstorm. This completely stems from the idea that you shouldn't shower/bath during a thunderstorm since water can conduct lightning pretty well. I took it to the next step by realizing that when you pee, there is a little stream attaching you to the puddle of water in the toilet. If lightning were to stike at that instant, it would totally suck.

This is a very mild, back of the mind, worry. I wasn't even aware of it until today. Chris very helpfully pointed out that salty water is more conductive of electricity than non-salty water. And as the thunderstorm approaches, I need to turn off the computer since I once lost one to lightning blowing it out.
