Jun 22 2009Girl Electrocutes Herself Tweeting In Bathtub

tweet death.jpg

Following in the trend of tweeting from the bathroom, a 17-year old Romanian girl died while apparently trying to Twitter from the tub (this new loofah feels great!).

The Austrian times says that Maria Barbu was, in fact, in the tub while using Twitter when she likely reached to plug in her charger with a wet hand, electrocuting herself in the process.

As much fun as I do want to make of Maria, you really can't blame her. Women understanding electricity? BWHAHAH AHAH HA HA! God, I needed that.

Shocking news...

She wasn't tweeting, she was talking to her friends on yahoo mesenger on her new laptop. People in romania don't tweet because we pretty much all agree that tweeting is for people with no lives.

Now shut up.

Should've added some carrots and potatoes in with her. It would've been a big bowl of dumb bitch soup.

@7: Funniest person to post today!!

"Women understanding electricity? BWHAHAH AHAH AH AH!"

GW, you're my favorite person.

I know riights! doing the twatin' thang in rowmaineia!?!?!?! sheeeeeeeeeeettttt!!!!!

One more proof of Natural selection (evolution)

yet again...another death, another monotone reaction

@15- D*mn you Darwin!...well, on thge other hand, lets make more dangers and the stupid people will be exctinct! Then in 100 years we will clone one to piss on!

Did the human race get a little stupid, did we forget that water + electricty = really stupid person who died in the bath while trying to tweet! Couldnt she wait to get out. Natural Selection people!!!!

MEATS my seal of approval, oh wait, this doesn't have to do with bacon....

Although this girl died in water, which was like in that movie wild things where the hot lesbos make out, which had Kevin Bacon in it... close enough...

sooo, what was her last tweet?
"He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the holy grail in the Castle of Aaauuuggghhh... ”

even if she was a stupid kid for plugging in her charger while in the tub...
death isn't funny. :I

@21

Yes, yes it is.

Stupid women

Anyone seen a link to her twitter page? Would be neat to read her last words....

@23: damn straight its funny!

I post on Geekologie from the bathtub all the time. The difference is, I don't put any water in the tub.

What the frick is the point of mentioned twitter? It's the power outlet & water that killed her.

ok... new game... everyone post what they think this TWIT's last tweet was:

"TWELP! I'm being twitlectrocuted! twomebody tweet a twambulance! Twurry!"

Twitter users should be called Twits and this just proves my point...if I had one.

this isnt funny

Of course it's funny... because its so stupid. Why in the world would you be doing anything with a wall plug when your in the bath?!!!! Makes no sense... Natural Selection!

Intelligence is overrated.

Darwin Awards?

Did she die?

@ 35 really? let me quote the article for you,"a 17-year old Romanian girl died while apparently trying to Twitter from the tub"

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the moivie Never Back Down where Max was in the tub listening to the song Go sk Alice on a tape player. He asked Baja to throw the recorder into the water at the climax to give him an electric shock, and as he got ready for it Baja threw a grapefruit in the water and ran out of the bathroom with the tape player.

She deserved to be electrocuted. Females pay attention: Stay in the kitchen or this can happen to you.

And the Darwin Award for 2009 goes to...

um this is bullshit. a phone cant electrocute anybody... even when plugged in

I guess this will affect 'died in a bloggin accident' search results which was usually pointing to xkcd

BWHAHAH AHAH HA HA! God, I needed that.

i am a romanian like her, i usethe computer a lot like her, am a grade A student likeher and still i am alive and well writing this comment being aware of what water + electricity does omfpfpg:3

mama cati romani citesc geekologie...ce alte bloguri mai cititi? da-i in pwl mea pe astia ca nici nu stiu unde e romania pe harta....

stupid romanian bitch

I guess Herbert Spencer and Charles Darwin were right. Damn you! You took another Romanian teenager that was looking forward to a life of prostitution.

Darwin-1, Twitter-0

10 - I lol'd! Ah, dumb bitch stew, won't do much for your memory, but it is oddly satisfying...
40 - Sitting in water playing with an electrical socket can kill you - moron.

But did she get the tweet off first?

To all the Darwin-tards who seem to be posting these days: not knowing the difference between "your" and "you're" puts you in a bit of a compromising position with regard to natural selection, no?

@48

It should be @11. It's ok. I still loves you.

Last tweet? Probably something like "Someone call the paramedics! Will.i.am just electrocuted me in the tub!"

Not very smart of this girl.She paid the highest price for her dumbness.The legal authorities in Romania who have the supervision on the electric household systems are as well to blame.

LOL!!!! GW said it! not me!

Dude.

I need to take that girl's lesson to heart. I often twitter in the bathtub. I've also almost fallen under a trance in the tub while playing Zoo Keeper on my DS (no - it's NOT effing pink), and nearly met with a watery demise.

Wonder what she wanted to tweet about..!!!

Does the phrase Twitter-Sex exist yet? I think this may be the next incarnation of phone-sex and cyber-sex.

Her real name was Flavia Boricean...that's pretty funny, I hope my stupidity never kills me.
