Lightning
Remember I told you the story of talented and witty Lee Trevino and how he got struck by lightning in 1975 at a tourney? He quipped later: "In case of a storm, stand in the middle of the fairway and hold up a one-iron. Not even God can hit a one iron." Singapore has one of the world's highest rates of lightning strikes. We are world class and in the world cup. You can tell people that we are famous for this too. Deaths from lightning strikes here is 0.35 deaths for every one million people from 2000 to 2003, higher than Britain's 0.2 but lower than the USA's 0.6. April/May and November/December are the worst periods with April and November the most dangerous. We read about golfers getting struck by lightning, divers drowning or badly hurt by quick ascend, plane crashes, H1N1 and frankly speaking going to work is dangerous! Someone can just give you the bonkers! Dangers lurk and abound at every corner so to speak, there are Chinese, Vietnamese ladies everywh
