Jesus Christ Struck By Lightning
The worlds largest statue statue of Jesus, Christ the Redeemer was struck by lightning. This is according to the Daily Mail among others with at least one suggesting it might be a hoax. There seems to be only one image floating around the Internet and it’s low quality so the chances of it being a hoax are real, although the statue is likely to be the highest point for miles around so it probably gets struck by lightning quite frequently.
Some interesting facts about the statue: it sits on top of Corcovado mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is 39.6 metres tall, weighs 700 tons, took nine years to build and was completed on October 12, 1931. That’s one hell of a statue (pun intended).

MacGyver movie rumor
Gizmodo are reporting that the creator of the Macgyver series Lee David Zlotoff has announced a MacGyver movie is in the works. They say he announced it at “Maker Fair 2008″ but there isn’t anything on makerfaire.com about it. This is one rumor I hope is true.
