iPod use has been deemed extremely dangerous for the wearer and bystanders alike. iPods have been known to attract lightning bolts out of even a clear sky. One iPod user reported having been struck by lightning in a New York City Subway station. The user claimed that a lightning bolt from a storm above ground struck the third rail at an outdoor station and traveled five stops and leapt up to strike his iPod and flash-incinerate his clothing. The lightning strike left him naked and stunned as passerby's pointed and laughed at him. Said user filed lawsuit against Apple and NYC MTA for $150 million dollars and a replacement iPod. A scientific study claims this lightning strike phenomenon only occurs to iPod wearers. No other brand has ever been known to attract lightning. It seems as though the click wheel has a combination of elements that make the iPod extremely attractive to lightning or any electron flow. A poll of five Zune users indicated that no Zune user has ever been struck by lightning.
The Triumph proved to be one of the better looking and performing pre-paid handsets we'd had the pleasure of holding in our sweaty mitts, but we had one major hangup: the name.

I didn't realize that 5 Zunes had even been sold.
Anyway, thank you for pointing out the extreme lightening hazard presented by Apple's iPod. I'll have to go looking for alternatives.
