Default Battery Spark

I was checking my oil level tonight and somehow the end of the oil stick touched the battery and it sparked (not sure if it hit both ends or just one). Any cause for concern?

No, not unless you sat there and let the battery weld itself together.. Some sparks wont hurt a thing. Every now and then it could pop a fuse, but not with just a quick tap

When I was putting my long tubes in I did the same thing but with a header. Shocked the crap out of me but didn't hurt the car.
