This iPod saved its owner from shuffling into the Great Beyond. Sophie Frost, 14, survived a lightning strike this week when the wires in her headphones steered the potentially lethal voltage away from her vital organs, British doctors said. She was left with a nasty burn running the length of her torso as the electricity took the fastest route to the ground - through the headphones hanging from her neck. The British teen received the iPod as a gift from her grandmother just four days before.    (source: nydailynews.com)
