Just saw that on the local (NYC) news.  They were trying to make it look
like the iPod attracted the lightning.  The idiot probably was so busy
listening to his music that he didn't hear the coming storm.  Probably
only took a ground streamer.  A real strike would have fried his brain
like his iPod then he could become a reporter.
