More than 50 people in Bangladesh have died after being struck by lightning in the last two days, causing panic in the country, according to officials. Experts believe that deforestation and higher temperatures are leading to an increase in lightning strikes.

Pabna police officer Abul Hossain told VOA that the number of people killed in such a short time "has left many people panicking".

Statistical anomaly or a scorned gods vengeance? When will the lightning deaths end.

What would be truly awful is if you got sniped by one of those bolts and like, got one of those cool disorders where suddenly you can speak Mandarin or play the violin out of nowhere, but then you get hit with a second lightning bolt and just die immediately.

The bite victims may have fallen ill because they went to witch doctors before seeking hospital treatment. The witch doctors opened the victims’ wounds with razors and drained their blood.

“That could have also made them sick,” Phatowali said.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Slightly more concerning is all the atheist bloggers constantly being hacked to death with machetes in Bangladesh.
