  Hahah I have never heard of that before – it sounds a little bit like the ‘spider won’t cross chestnuts’ story which is definitely not true. The problem with this idea is it’s not just your stomach which is struck by lighting, the worst damage is often done to your brain, heart and muscles – and there is no grass in them (hopefully)… so yeah, this is not true!
