The show Mythbusters took up this topic a while ago. It was proven that if you house is built to code then there is no danger of being electricuted. All pipes and wires in your home are carefully grounded, so that the electricity from lightning is safely dispersed.

Yes, if your house was struck by lightning while you were taking a shower, the copper or iron pipes in your house would immediately conduct the 6 million plus volts directly to you, via the water, which is an excellent conductor. You would immediately be electrocuted.

If you want proof, the TV show "MythBusters" did one of their experiments recently and proved this as a viable myth.
Though it would not be as likely to be dangerous unless it was a direct hit on your house, it is possible. Water and copper or metal pipes can conduct electricity after all!

This is one for the TV Show Myth Busters, but I wouldn't want to be the one to try it. Although I heard in a special myth busters they are going to disprove whether or not your face will stay that way if someone pats you on the back while making a funny face. I think thats on Aug 8th at 8PM

Well, i think its just a myth that your geandmother you to tell you when you were little, but, i guess its always possible for the pipes of your house to be struck by lighting.
But then again... what is the possibilities of that happening.

Duh, electric in water and you standing under the water and letting it stream down over you. French fries mean anything to you? This isn't a new form of wash & dry.

Only if you sing songs that make God angry, like Celine Dion.
