Bump for my proudest science moment since college. Well probably including college as well.

Wow, back in 2009 Suzzer was actually a decent poster

When I saw this I was coming to post that lightning hits land a lot more than the ocean, but whales were bound to be hit. Your post stole the show. Great post!

I can't wait until some goofball hiring manager throws this question at me. Thanks to this thread I'm going to blow his mind with my answer, and then when I'm done, I'm going to ask for another $5k in salary.

Re: How Many Whales Have Been Killed By Lightning In The History of the Earth?
awesome thread and nice post by suzzer.

I'm surprised no one brought up beached whales that haven't died...seems like a lock that a bunch of those have been struck by lightning over all of whale history.
