A French teenager has been jailed after buying a PlayStation 4 for under £8 by weighing it as if the games console was a huge bag of fruit.
The 19-year-old man, named in the French media as Adel, picked the device off the shelf and took it to the fruit section and weighed it.
He then put a sticker with the heavily reduced price tag on the expensive console and went to the checkout.
Adel paid £7.86 (€9) for the 6lb bag of 'fruit' at a self-checkout at a supermarket in Montbeliard, eastern France, last September.

Yes. Some people have been known to have actually been struck by lightning more than one time.

IIRC, there was a Canadian park ranger that was hit around 6 times during his life...

Sorry, 7 times ... but the last time, after being hit, he also had to fight a bear with a stick.... its 22th fight with bears in his life!!
Of course, none of the strikes killed him... in the end, he shot itself
Some guys have all the "luck"!
