    When thunder's around put all metal down!

    If you're ever caught in a thunderstorm, get rid of your iPod immediately.

    If you'd happen to be struck by lightening, it could make your injuries worse! When lightening jumps from a nearby object to a person, it often flashes over the skin, leaving most of the body undamaged. But metal can concentrate the electrical energy, and cause severe contact burns, whether it's a cell phone, an iPod, beeper, laptop computer, jewelry, coins in your pocket- even an underwire bra!
