This is the scar a man received on his arm after being struck by lightning. It's a Lichtenberg Figure, or the pattern made from an electrical discharge. As you can see, it's kinda flowery. Still beats the shit out of any tribal tat though.

Thanks to Marie, who agrees the best scars are the ones you get trying to jam your arm up in a vending machine after your snack gets stuck. Oh this one? Cooler Ranch Doritos.

    U.S. Video Game Consoles Consume As Much Electricity As San Diego
    December 17, 2010
    That background is the same color as my bathroom, no lie. According to a recent study, the 63 million PS3, XBox and Wii video game consoles in the US consume as much energy (EXCLUDING the required television) yearly as the entire city of San Diego. Is that a lot? I have no... / Continue →
  • Scary: First Person POV Of Riding A 15-Foot Tall Bicycle
    April 25, 2013
    Seen here practicing for the circus, Richie Trimble provides us with a first-person view of what it's like to ride his nearly 15-foot "Stoopidtall Bike'. The bike measures 12-feet to the pedals and 14.5 to the seat. That's high. Almost as high as you'd have to be to think a ... / Continue →

    This is the impressive 4-ton steampunk train barbeque grill built by Ryazan Deulino. The barbeque features three separate cooking bays and a brick-lined furnace (all of which make great hide & seek hiding places). Man, this thing looks perfect for grilling up some of my famou... / Continue →
There are Comments

  • HA! Before I decided to write 'He's going to get so much lay thanks to that scar and story' I read some of the comments. This is what I found; "
    He's a redhead, isn't he. Look at those freckles! AND struck by lightening AND cool scar? I'm in love. Forward him my contact info. "

    Smirking about being right. 

  • That is awesome- maybe I could get just a 'little' struck by lightning...

  • Azariel_z

    Did he remember to say "Shazam" before getting hit...  wasted  opportunity..

  • That is the coolest scar I have ever seen, its amazing

  • artilleryboy

    Nice

  • AGirlNamedMichael

    By momento, you meant memento, yes GW?  Hugs anyway.  Also, the scar resembles the ice crystal patterns that form on a window when it freezes really fast

  • Anyone else think it looks a lot like a cedar branch?

  • He's a redhead, isn't he. Look at those freckles! AND struck by lightening AND cool scar? I'm in love. Forward him my contact info.

  • That is a skin condition called keratosis pilaris.

  • No it isn't. They're definitely freckles. Keratosis pilaris are bumps which look more like a rash. I should know, I have both! (plus look at his arm hair... defo ginger.)

  • duca_87

    looks like our realm failed to rid another ginger

  • Lord Chino

    I resent that remark, GW. Tribal tats are pretty fucking awesome. I mean the real kind. Not the white trash crap that I'm sure you see all the time in your whack-ass hood.

  • Azariel_z

    cool to you, funny to others... geek democracy!!!!

  • n_a_a_s

    well if there were ever a reason for getting some henna down your right arm.... it's going to be hard arguing against that

  • JimmyThr

     Why isn't he out there stopping crime, the bastard...

  • Tim Buchanan

    He earned that one.  Freaking awesome.

  • Asperflux

    Long last the robots!

  • It's indeed possible since the similar patterns have been made with man-made lightning and some acrylic blocks (Google It). Mother Nature is one sweet tattoo artist.

  • If you're going to have a scar you may as well get an attractive one. And that is one cool looking scar. Don't think I'd want to get struck by lightening though.

  • In reference to @Weapon_Ozma:disqus 's comment I'd definitely take a bolt of lightning over a hit of 'AVADA KEDAVRA' any day…

    Still lightnigh is a little much to weather for fashion, and we agree with you. I guess that's why once again we've shared your comments on the Pewlpit, as the lead to a story.
