I saw that after I posted the link. Mental, but I'd really like to be in his
(well insulated?) shoes, must be quite a feeling being so close to a
lightning.

Piece of cake, unless there's a gap in his Faraday cage...

Not well insulated, but given the sparks under his feet, not

Ahh, I see almonds in the recipe. Guaranteed to make me puke, so even if
they're *the* biscuits to use, I'm out.
