Default Cellphones And Lightning: A Deadly Combination

http://www.engadget.com/entry/5608362271648027/

"You hear the one about the fifteen tourists visiting the Great Wall of China who were struck by lightning when one of them was chatting on their cellphone during a thunderstorm? No? Well, the Chinese government has, and in response has issued an official warning that people turn off their cellphones during lightning storms. Pseudo-science? You betcha."

This has to be one of the craziest things I've read in a while. I would have expected the Chinese government to be a little more rational in their decision. :roll:
