..."Dayum! We're outta beer!" and then went to put on his flip-flops before going to the fridge.

Unless, of course, the fridge is floating just out of camera shot.

11. That's either one hell of a waterproofing system or a horrible accident in the making.
Odds are on the accident. (Not that it's not thoroughly deserved...) Is there, perhaps, a news article that accompanies this?

18. That depends entirely upon whether it is a waffle iron or a George Foreman grill.
The need for waffles, I can understand. Burgers just make a pool all messy.

23. um, if i recall my electrical education correctly, there really isn't any danger.
Edited on Sun Jan-06-08 06:33 PM by KG
if the plugs get wet, the current will bridge the prongs, cause a short, and trip the breaker.

26. I'll bet that their short prongs will definitely break, in such an emergency.

33. "There really isn't any danger" is somewhat inaccurate. It is true that
relatively few people die each year in swimming pool electrocutions.

Fatalities may be limited by the fact that almost everyone regards such activity as idiotic

You assume not only that all outlets have groundfault protection but that groundfault breakers always work, neither of which is true.

And perhaps that picture was not taken at the most dangerous moment -- which might be after broken glass from last week's bash punctures the pool bottom -- or when drunk bozo gets out of the pool dripping wet and monkeys with the cord

36. Well, what's even funnier is that one end of the cords is hooked up to a grill.

25. What's truly horrifying is those mouth breathers no doubt
have driver's licenses, operate machines, are allowed to vote, may be (God help them) have families and freely walk the streets of their city. :scared:

29. judging from the looks of the power strip

39. It's funny
because just awhile ago watched a clip from one of the Vacation movies. I'm thinking cousin Eddie.

It might be bs ,but I could see some freeper attempting this.

Like in the picture they would think well look at how far away they are from it. Or in the picture one of the cords (the orange one) has a piece of wood taped to it. That is so if it falls into the water it floats and won't get wet.

:) :) :)

35. If the cord is actually plugged in and this isn't done just to make a cool photo, I'll eat my hat.
This is clearly a fake.

37. That's exactly what I thought Rabrrrrrr!
I don't know if tripping the breaker would keep these people from being electrocuted, but I would have to be convinced that this wasn't just done as a joke.
