[becks]

Wasn't sure where to put this but How It Works won, in the film Sweet Home Alabama with Resse Witherspoon, the guy in it create sculptures in glass where lightning hits the sand - is this true and if so where can i get one? Ta

It is true but they don't look anything like they do in the films. Have a look here for examples:

They're known as fulgurites.  You should be able to find plenty of places to buy them if you search for that name in google

i wouldnt call them art sculptures just a process of nature, i mean you cant really influence what shape the lightning makes so it in theory should be no more arty than a rock.
