One of lifes little luxuries is to soak in a hot bubble bath (I never have the time). This is nothing short of magnificent. Maybe heaven will have one I can use, since my schedule is full until 3 years after I am dead. #jacuzzi
@Gann: Dont be sad. If I got in there, likely I would never been seen or heard from again. I might get all spoiled and stuff (maybe even relax!) and we cant have THAT. #jacuzzi
Maybe you have a chip on your shoulder about Twitter users(personally I hate Twitter) but as an electrician I can't help pointing out weak electrical safety. If they had ground fault circuit interrupters as mandatory equipment in Romania, she would have survived and maybe not even felt much of a shock before the power was cut. Granted, handling live electrical equipment while immersed in water is Darwin award material, but her death could have been prevented if the exact same incident had occurred where GFCIs are mandatory such as Canada where we have some of the toughest electrical safety rules. In the UK these are called RCDs or residual current devices. Basically they work by detecting if power is going somewhere it shouldn't....normally it goes out of the black(active/hot) wire and back through the white(neutral). If 99 electrons go out but only 93 come back, that means six leaked somewhere and maybe did so through a person into the ground - while shocking them. If it senses this condition the power will immediately be cut before a fatality can occur.
I've heard of a lot of deaths like this occurring in India not due to people twittering in the tub but due to people using immersion water heaters to warm up water before bathing. These are extremely unsafe ungrounded devices and even if they have got the ground pin many people just break the ground pin off to make it fit an old outlet or worse, the ground/bond connection is broken somewhere in the wall. Now imagine you've got a live electrode in the water with no safety ground and no GFCI protection, and you stick your hand in to check the temperature while standing on a wet floor...Zapppppp, you'll never know if it was hot enough because you'll be dead.
Something comforting about the enclosed tub. Maybe it's the sensory deprivation and the stress reliever that is darkness, or maybe it's the fact that you can't get that creepy Norman Bates silhouette on a curtain.

These last few might as well just be generic action movies.
