Odd and possibly funny weird science humor

I saw this supposed documentary about Benjamin Franklin's discovery of electricity. In the "urban legend" there is always a kite flown in turbulent storm winds and a key either at the top of the kite or bottom apparently and during that massive powered lightning storm, he is shown "discovering electricity".

Oddly enough, anyone that understand the immense energy and amperage flow of the ultra high voltage together with the potential catastrophic electric accelerations in sequence like a chain coming down or going up in a lightning strike are fairly hazardous to the human body.

Here is the punch line from a "Youtube" video claiming to understand Benjamin Franklin and interestingly enough showing the fictional scene. It is an interesting article on the science area and also covered for safety so that no one attempt to be out in lightning inappropriately. Did or did not the following video direct people appropriately, watch to find out:

There is also the very comical and also troubling crows that seem to catch fire at different times playing the hirewire tight rope act which makes me wonder if they induce transformer explosions at times? Hmmm:

Here is the interesting assumption and responsible direction from wikipedia's article on Benjamin Franklin:

Benjamin Franklin - Wikipedia

From the article:

He did not perform this experiment in the way that is often pictured in popular literature, flying the kite and waiting to be struck by lightning, as it would have been dangerous. Instead he used the kite to collect some electric charge from a storm cloud, showing that lightning was electrical.

Here is an odd strange co-incident of lightning strikes. It is wisdom to use precaution if you hear thunder in areas near you. There is a flash of lightning usually. If you see a lightning flash, you can then count the seconds before the thunderous explosion reaches your ears. And that travels at around the speed of sound at near sea level, which is about 343 meters per second. And that might give you an idea of how far away it is. The danger with lightning usually exists when lightning is conducted near your vicinity and you are part of the path of least resistance the lightning follows from the atmosphere to the ground. I know lightning tends to branch out and form a tree like structure seek the path of least resistance from video content I have watched. Sometimes the build up of static in the area just before a lightning strike can be a good indicator of potential near harm/death danger.

Here is a strange article where someone got the unlucky draw in life:

This is strange

Here is an example of what not to do when encounter strong static fields:

Here is a link to the above video should be depicting two women with their hair standing on end in a static field where lightning is striking some distance away in a lightning storm. The evidence of static build up is the hair repelling itself as a flux field electrically. And that is a good indicator that lightning is about to strike.

Oh I think it might have gone down differently than that. You see Ben Franklin had a friend who was always talking about that stuff to Ben when they were playing chess, so Ben knew pretty much what the guy was doing.

Then one day after a storm last night Ben came to his friends house and found him dead in the yard so then he knew that his friend wasnt full of crap so he gathered up the guys notes and Kite and stuff and took the credit for himself! Lol.
