Jesus, that's gotta hurt...

"May God strike me with lightning if..."

The world's largest statue of Jesus was struck by lightning

Rio de Janeiro's world-famous statue of Jesus - Christ the Redeemer, was struck by lightning during a thunderstorm over the Brazilian city on Sunday.
The statue - which towers over the city as the largest statue of Jesus in the world - did not appear too damaged after the strike, according to Brazilian reports.
The statue stands 39.6 metres (130ft) tall, is made of 700 tons of reinforced concrete, and is located at the peak of the 700-metre (2,296ft) Corcovado mountain overlooking the city.
It was named one of the new Seven Wonders of the World in 2007.
