- rolmos, on 01/06/2008, -12/+860Wow, you just copied and pasted my comment from Reddit.
http://reddit.com/info/64omt/comments/c02ts16 - QGYH2, on 01/06/2008, -322/+973only an idiot would place his beers so close to a grill... wait...
- luke16, on 01/06/2008, -6/+459Don't worry, those sandals will prevent us from being shocked.
- goforbroke, on 01/06/2008, -8/+454There are at least 3 candidates.
- ani625, on 01/06/2008, -18/+284I think what they've done there is very dangerous .
- inactive, on 01/06/2008, -4/+185why wouldn't i do it? i think having a table in the pool is a brilliant idea. No one wants watered down beers.
- neio, on 01/06/2008, -0/+155Apparently thats the best form of flattery, quick cover your sphincter.
- skizzy, on 01/06/2008, -9/+162what were they thinking! those beers are going to be warm
- Unreal595, on 01/06/2008, -0/+135If the wires go into the water, they're gonna need a backup generator so the grill doesn't stop working.
- Waskonator, on 01/06/2008, -3/+135Who drinks so many different beers in one pool?
- chrisaug18, on 01/06/2008, -0/+128Yeah, I usually drink my different beers in 5 or 6 different pools
- mccartyba, on 01/06/2008, -5/+127Unless they actually died, I don't think they can be a candidate.
- stormgren, on 01/06/2008, -2/+122No, you can just lose your ability to reproduce.

- BoneStamp, on 01/06/2008, -6/+108All they need is a hair dryer in there and they've won.
"Ya, then we can dry our hair before we get out!" - RyanCoke, on 01/06/2008, -0/+99Is this a fake? It must be a fake! Nobody can be that stupid. I asked my 4 year old nephew about electricity and water and he knew that it was bad! I know that water isn't inherently conductive; but those guys, some beers and whole lotta stupid definitely will be dangerous on a whole new level.
- pikepace, on 01/06/2008, -0/+88They have plenty of outlets still available, might as well add a refrigerator to keep the beers cold and some kind of light so they stay out after the sun sets.
- DeadlyAlpaca, on 01/06/2008, -17/+101In all fairness, they ARE relatively safe. Electricity just wants to find its way to ground, and given that they are surround by a giant rubber insulator, there likely is no such path. Even if someone has a convenient wire going from the water to a ground (other than the obvious ground in the outlets), non-pure water is a significantly better conductor than a person is, and the majority of the current will travel through the water. Plus they are only in danger if they are between the outlets and that path to ground.
- DeadlyAlpaca, on 01/06/2008, -11/+89Furthering my already long thought process: In reality, if that power-bar became submerged, the electricity will just short to the ground terminal and the breaker will flip. The whole body of water will not become charged and no one will get shocked. Water and electricity are certainly dangerous, but in this situation, there isn't any real danger. Honestly.
I'm an electrical engineer and although I wouldn't do what they've done, I would be comfortable to stand in that water. - Jareth86, on 01/06/2008, -4/+73And they all vote.
- eKstreme, on 01/06/2008, -1/+65I like how they have a wooden doorstop just in case the cable extension falls into the water. You know, it would be hard to fish it out then.
- Chirp08, on 01/06/2008, -0/+59Thats one canonball away from being a last supper
- Zippo, on 01/06/2008, -3/+58I can't tell what beers they're drinking, but if they're American beers, they can't get much more watered down.
- mllawso, on 01/06/2008, -3/+56Pure water isn't conductive. That pool probably isn't filled with distilled water, though.
- consoneo, on 01/06/2008, -9/+59Black people don't swim. Hah! (just kidding :P)
- expert01, on 01/06/2008, -5/+55What, black people never electrocute themselves?
- haveacigar, on 01/06/2008, -1/+48I'm pretty sure the guy in the background is Drew Curtis from Fark...
- Radan, on 01/06/2008, -1/+47But I thought you would instantly start to flicker like a broken fluorescent lamp, while in the same time your organs and skin would turn completely transparent to the degree that your entire skeleton structure would be visible. Cartoon Network, you lied to me!!!
- j0hnc0ry, on 01/06/2008, -4/+50You sir are what we in the business call a moron.
- karmakanic, on 01/06/2008, -2/+48Wait......isn't that you on the left?
- fadetoone, on 01/06/2008, -5/+51But don't you have to die to get a Darwin award? I thought that was a requirement.
- OutrightLie, on 01/06/2008, -9/+54Yeah, well Reddit sucks :P
- emt41, on 01/06/2008, -0/+43boy oils?
- davidszcz, on 01/06/2008, -2/+44Actually no, they're not safe. My family owns a pool like the one shown. These are the cheap 3 foot pools sold at walmart (and many other retailers) to get inside, there is a metal ladder touching both the water and the ground outside the pool. Ummm. according to my calculations, that means there is such a path.
- expert01, on 01/06/2008, -1/+42Only problem BEING... while the breaker in the strip will stop power to the grill, power still goes to the breaker. And they'll get one HELL of a shock before the house breaker goes off.
- Br0wn, on 01/06/2008, -3/+44Only when being tased by da LAPD
- themastersb, on 01/06/2008, -1/+413 candidates because only those 3 are in actual danger of being killed. The one taking the picture is out of the pool and therefore not a candidate.
- TenebrousX, on 01/06/2008, -1/+40mirror: http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/foto/99e532d6_elek ...
- DeadlyAlpaca, on 01/06/2008, -0/+36You have no idea how disappointed I was in second year when I discovered what universities think engineering is.
Although that did explain all the classes they had me taking... - rootnik, on 01/06/2008, -0/+36My guess is that by the end of 2008, they will be eligible.
- MCCULLAH, on 01/06/2008, -1/+37really?
- jmreid, on 01/06/2008, -1/+36Yes, as long as they can't reproduce then they can be a source of funny for the rest of us.
- cherwilco, on 01/06/2008, -1/+35try it and let us know how it went.
- RockStrongo1, on 01/06/2008, -1/+35Stupid, yes... and who the ***** uses an electric griddle outside anyway. Now a charcoal BBQ in the middle would have been sweet...
- lostarchitect, on 01/06/2008, -0/+32thanks for not lying.
- BoneStamp, on 01/06/2008, -1/+31Yup, they're grounded...hehe...
- Fracture98, on 01/06/2008, -0/+29Breaking news: Four American Tourists Died Today....
- octopi, on 01/06/2008, -1/+29Its a trap!
- aoneal417, on 01/07/2008, -1/+28hey everyone, I'm a Certified Pokemon Specialist, and according to the laws of Power Advantages/Disadvantages, Electricity is Super Effective against Water, so... you can pretty much get the picture of how that battle ended
