Pachy is correct, in fact its pretty hard to get electocuted in water, thats just a myth really, but dont try chucking ya radio in the bath ok.
Interesting fact :
Car insurance (UK only)
If you have a crash , and they claim againgsst you you can pay back the money the claim cost and recover your no claims bonus, and you can do this at anytime. Worth one if its a small crash and they insist on claiming.
Oh and my car insurance went down by £1000 this year!!! WHAT a saving, its only £1k instead of £2k. Being older rocks.....
Now the first thing i need to tell you is don't just go around decappitating zombies left right and center.

put ice into the microwave and it does not melt when cooking, try it!!!!!!!!
and
recycled piss (urine) is a 1000 times more cleaner than standard tapwater
and
when the horseless carriage (or car) was first made, the car would go no faster than 5 mph in fear of going too fast (thinking they would die by crushing to death) and people would walk in front of it carrying a red flag to warn passers by....
and
the elephant man was the only person in the world to use 1% more brain power than anyother person in thr whole world, thus making him the brainiest person ever, shame he died at a young age due to his horrific deformations (though if this didnt happen he wouldnt have the extra percentage)

pachy is right once as usual.
pure water does not contain the ions required to transport electricity.
that's why u need minerals or substances dissolved in water to do it.
salt is a good example of conductor when dissolved in water. |

Yep, true.
Think of the car that runs in the water at night. You can see the lights keep on burning under water!! This means when the water conducted the current the fuses would burn. And electric windows do work under water!!
This works better at 12 volt then 220 volt, 220 is more powerfull and would break through the barrier of the water. Thats why you will die if you drop the toaster (groundhog day  ) in your bathtub. Also because the water out of the tap isn't pure.

Thats funny because i am looking for "i got you babe" in a wav file to have as a wake up alarm on my p8 but i havn`t found it yet. (Groundhog day fans will know this is the repeating morning radio alarm tune in the film).

Same as on a windy day snow can just evaperate into the wind, in a microwave it is similar.
Elephant man was a guy called John Merick who was hideously disfigured, he was born in Victorian England taken in by a cruel man who used him as a circus attraction & kept caged & treated like a dog although a kind doctor took an interest in him & found him to be highly intelectual (a leson to us all, not to judge people by looks alone), after a while he was recaptured by the cruel circus bloke & died after a humiliating existance. this was made into a film with "Elephant man" played by John Hurt, the doc was Anthony Hopkins who played Hanibul Lector in "Silence of the lambs". Ericsson had some product placement in the film including a BT headset but this was never in view as the ugly idiot wore a sack on his lumpy head most of the time. |

well ice does not melt in a microwave for a certain reason,
a microwave works by sending micro waves out to the product(food etc), the microwaves being sent out causes the particles in the product to move really fast (the particles are just thrown around), this constant moving creates heat and cooks the food, more microwaves (power setting) means faster particles generating more heat, with ice all the particles are frozen, when the waves hit it the particles do not move because they are locked in, therefore its not generating heat, so the ice does not melt!!!!!!!! |
