It's just a bit of a stupid thread, anon.

Technically swords probably are a lightening hazard, however, being hit by lightening has never, in the whole of human history, been a particularly significant cause of human mortality.

That is why lightening strikes are literally used as a metaphor for something unusual.

Yes. It is a very stupid thread.

>>1511557

If that is so explain how, or abstain from posting.

>>1511577
it's a simple, easy to answer question that also has nothing to do with this board

>>1511577

Anon. Both if these posters.....

.... explained.

You chose to deliberately ignore their entire posts in order to greentext the start of the sentence.

I can understand that you are just trying to bump a stupid thread though, so I forgive you.

It's a pretty stupid question.

Yes, large hunks of metal attract lightning.
Yes, if you held a sword up to the sky in an open field in a lightning storm you were more likely to get stuck by lightning than if you didn't hold the sword up.
That's common fucking sense, what is the point of this thread?
