Actually you *can* get lightning to strike in the same place over and over. All you need is a rod/conductor and you pass a laser up into the clouds. Say about mid way the laser is passing very close to the top of that rod. The Laser Ionizes the air and the lightning tried to follow the laser, there is no real conduction and so it strikes the rod. The other thing is people saying static is not that 'strong' are kind of neglecting the fact they could run miles of something like that under a roadway or like say the tension wires of a bridge or anywhere were friction is created over and over.... that would build up. Just my 2 cents. I stumbled over this page and thought id say something.
