St Elmo’s Fire
WTF is this?
It is what appears to be "fire" coming from the top of a spire or pole during a thunder storm. St. Elmo is the Patron Saint of Sailors who noticed this "fire" on the tops of masts as they sailed through stormy weather.

The scientific explanation is fascinating. First, when angels pee their pee does not fall down with the force of gravity. Due to its divine nature it falls up.
Next, we have not yet come to a satisfactory conclusion as to how many angels can dance on the head of a pin but compared to the width of a ship's mast we can reasonably assume that the mast can hold literally thousands of pissing angels.
The resultant flow of divine urine appears as fire to the eyes of fallen man.
