THUNDER AND LIGHTING

Today I learned (thanks Chuck and Josh!) that it isn't that your rubber tires keeping your car grounded that keeps you safe from lighting strikes during a lighting storm.  

I learned that it is due to the engineering of your car, and your car being a Faraday cage.  I already knew what a Faraday cage was because I looked it up after seeing The Sorcerer's Apprentice (yes I saw it, it's a Nicolas Cage movie, and a good one too.)

Speaking of Sorcerer's Apprentice, I hate Fantasia.
