Brasov, Romania (AHN) - Electricy and water don't mix!
A Romanian teen died of electrocution while Twittering in her bathtub, after she dropped her laptop in the water.
Found by her parents with her laptop lying next to her, Maria Barbu, 17, of Brasov in central Romania, died in her bathtub at home, the Croatian Times reported.
Police believe she may have tried to plug in the laptop with her wet hands after her battery died during a long Twitter session.

Probably 220 volts there, as in most countries.
I doubt the cause was dropping the laptop—since they all run off wall-warts, no?

I wuz just thinking: Give Darwinism a chance. It's the worst enemy of it's biggest proponents.

Some people really do take twitter too far. I have some friends of mine who seem to tweet every single thing they do. It’s not necessary!

It’s the price you pay for having a 220V system. I am assuming the power adapter fell into the water as well.

I have to say that after all the years of following technology, trying to be on the cutting edge of all new technologies and crazes...I just REFUSE TO DO THIS TWITTER THING. It just seems so self-serving. I don’t understand the need to put every little thought you have out there...it drives me crazy on FACEBOOK..I think it’s kind of sad.

Condolences and prayers to the family. It must have been horrific for the parents to come home to that scene.
Yes it was 'dumb' ... but still sad.
