This is the kind of news you make up, then have a chuckle about. Only this time it actually happened. Somone on Fark pointed out that God hates Fuqing liars.

Lightning strikes as man takes oath

IN a bizarre incident, a man in eastern China was struck by lightning just as he lifted an iron bar over his head to swear that god would punish him if he had taken money from his friend.

The man, who was identified as Xu, had borrowed 500 yuan (US$73.21) from a close friend surnamed Huang three years ago. Xu, who lived in Fuqing City, Fujian Province, later forgot all about it, according to a news Web portal in Fujian.

But Huang remembered and complained before other friends that Xu had taken money from him.

On Tuesday, Huang took a wooden rod and rushed to Xu’s home asking him to return the money. Xu too confronted Huang with an iron bar and stood his ground.

Huang then told Xu that he should swear before god that he was not in his debt. Xu lifted the iron bar over his head and said if he owed Huang money, the god would punish him. Just then he was struck by lightning.

He was later taken to hospital, and doctors said his injuries were not serious.

Ah… hearing this again nearly brought a tear to my eye. Back in 95/96 I loved this song to bits… Simply because it sounds hauntingly beautiful at night.

And 12 years on, I realize I still know the lyrics by heart…
