Romanian Girl Dies While Twittering in the Bath

Let’s all learn from this, OK? Twitter is great.  Twitter is fun.  Blah blah blah.

However, you should NEVER risk your life just to let your friends know your current status.

Case in point:

A Romanian girl died while Twittering in the Bath tub.  She reached to plug in her laptop and electrocuted herself to death.

A teenage girl was electrocuted after dropping her laptop into the bath as she twittered in the tub.

Police said they believed Maria Barbu, 17, had tried to plug in her laptop with wet hands after the battery died during a long session on social networking site Twitter as she took a soak at her home in Brasov, central Romania.

She was found dead by her parents with the laptop lying next to her. [Austrian Times]
