That will be $8,000.

And Petersen’s gone quite mad, from what I hear.

Just wait until he sees The Urban Sombrero.

The horror. The horror.

A simple GFCI circuit would have prevented that. Russia IS a third world country.

“she may have fatally struck her head as she fell.”

The notion that a murderer beat her to death, then threw her in the tub and tossed in the hair dryer as a cover up seems a lot more credible than accidental electrocution. Even in Russia, where faulty televisions used to be the leading cause of house fires.

Another bizarre death—French singer Claude Francois who sang Comme d’Habitude (As Usual)—Paul Anka put English lyrics to it and it became My Way...and covered December 1963 (Oh What a Night) as Cette Annee La...and was about to try to become a success in the US...
But was electrocuted as he tried to adjust a light fixture while taking a shower.

If she was killed, maybe it wasn't a Russian who did it. This fellow has a pattern that might fit ...

Those vintage flyback transformers have zapped plenty of people.

Casinos have always treated habitual winners the way the Clintons treat people who know too much.

“A simple GFCI circuit would have prevented that. Russia IS a third world country.”

Many countries to not have a ground in their electrical systems - Japan is an excellent example. 100 Volts and two simple wires...

I think we are overly litigious in our society...suffocation warnings on plastic bags to prevent infants and children whom cannot read from suffocating...

This could be an accident though likely not.

If there was a GFCI circuit breaker then she ‘...might have fallen asleep and drowned due toot much vodka or the like’...a hit is a hit.

The bathroom is the most dangerous room in the house. Stuff happens a lot more than one might guess.

Probably an assault hair dryer. Bet it wasn’t even registered. Those things should be banned.

Yeah, and he sold more than 70,000,000 records! He was a huge star in Europe and might have become something of a star in the U.S. too.

Apparently her degree was not in “Electrical” engineering.

It amazes me how many people do not respect electricity. I know people are told what to do and not to do- all these appliances now even have tags with the basic do not information. Yet many act as though they can do as they please.
