I'm not sure about that picutre specifically, but here's what I found:

Lichtenberg figures may also appear on the skin of lightning strike victims. These are reddish, fernlike patterns that may persist for hours or days. They are also a useful indicator for medical examiners when determining the cause of death. Lichtenberg figures appearing on people are sometimes called lightning flowers, and they are thought to be caused by the rupture of capillaries under the skin due to the passage of the lightning current or the shock wave from the lightning discharge as it flashes over the skin.[11]

I try to have some sort of plan for everything. My plan if I ever get struck by lightening and survive is to slowly stand up, then look at my hands. Then raise them in the air and yell in a deep voice, "I now have the power of the gods", then sprint away.

Hopefully there are witnesses.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUyYBrlF_W8 A Most Wanted Man is a damned fine character study. It is not James Bond. I think this is what the CIA is really like.

 

I also saw Lucy. While not perfect there is some really cool ideas and visuals in it. I wish it had had a coupel more rewrites before they filmed it.

I think it's based on a book by the same guy who wrote Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Great acting but they can be very hard to get into - that one more so perhaps because it was all about British SIS which I know a bit less about.

 

Bet Hoffman nails it. Man will I miss him.
