Pardon me, but I think someone's trying to get your attention...

Sounds like Someone is trying to send a message to the set of Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Christ". The film's assistant director, Jim Michelini and the actor playing Jesus, Jim Cavezliel were struck by lightning while working on the set. It's the second time Michelini has been struck.

Michelini had previously been struck during filming in Matera, Italy, when he suffered light burns to his fingers after lightning hit his umbrella.

Describing the second lightning strike, McEveety told VLife, a supplement of the trade paper Variety: "I'm about a hundred feet away from them when I glance over and see smoke coming out of Caviezel's ears."
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, so it's safe to giggle about. (And, of course, being a Thorian, gives me another reason to giggle - and feel almost jealous - the key word there being ALMOST.)
