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.

You’re exactly right, you have no knowledge.
The original post dealt with the death of a teen girl.
I’ll not do battle with a sophomoric, ill-educated twit.
Be done with you.

It’s the price you pay for having a 220V system. I am assuming the power adapter fell into the water as well. 120v isn't exactly safe, either. Actually, in a bathtub context, anything above, say, 12v should be considered hazardous.

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! What happened to the good old days when people would call somebody on their cellphone to them every single thing they're doing?

She'd have tweeted the electrocution, but "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" is longer than 140 characters.

I used to shave (in the tub) with an electrical razor as a teen - had no idea it was not ok - and I was not a particularly stupid kid.
Everyone does something stupid now and then. Poor kid.

To: Hildy
were these really her posts before she died??? I don't know. I just guessed her Twitter ID. If they are not her final posts, then there's someone out there with a sicker (and more measuredly creative) mind than mine.
One thing that's clear from her posts is that Romania is a far better place to be than it was before 25 December 1989.
