Lightning (way OT but amusing)

[Tim Ressel]

Ever see this guy?

He holds the record for starting a barbeque: 3 seconds. He uses liquid O2 poured
onto the charcoal.

Now, I wonder if we could break his record by using lightning to start the
coals? We would need some fine wire, a model rocket, and one honkin' big
storm....
