@ animeboy93,Well if youre a science nerd like me you know when it gets dangerous; @michalchik, you're correct...so when you get shocked on the door knob in the winter is that lightning...it to is a static discharge. Lightning itself is in fact a plasma wich ia the known fourth form of matter; @ melodymadrid, pencil lead :)........cd/dvd makes some neat special effects too

Plasma clouds not really lightening which is a static discharge.
