Ya, I've heard about folks having a "burnt" taste in their mouth after they're hit by lightning.

Now THAT'S gotta be weird!!!!!!!!! Ta' think you got "cooked" but just a "little bit"!

(ewwww)

btw, I saw a discovery special about lightning being able to strike ABOVE clouds.

If that were the case, there would be no more lightning after the first lightning strike ever.

I meant
Lighting doesn't strike twice in the same place

Why wouldn't it? If so-called science tells us that the earth is billions and billions of years old, what are the odds that, over those billions and billions of years, lightning has never struck the face of the earth in the same place a second time?

6-7 billion is the most accurate estimation. Universe isn't much older in the grand scheme.

maybe not in the sama storm,but it eventually will over time, as the electricity is absorbed equally into the ground

Not all at the same time. That was over years.
