While bathing?

I'm sorry, but electrical equipment and water is not the best of combinations; I would think one would want to avoid using a computer while (I'm from the US; we don't use "whilst" 'cause our teachers would hit us for it) in the bath.

As an aside, the closest I've ever come to an exotic locale is logging on to Perl Monks at my sister-in-law's house. The only likely form of transport would be either MetroNorth or an Acela

emc

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

I don't know if a low voltage device in a bath is dangerous, but I have committed the sin of logging into Perl Monks whilst using a DELL LAPTOP ON MY LAP!	[reply]

Ouch! That's very risky behavior. Maybe you should take up something safer. Skydiving? emc At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well.

While the low voltages used in laptops wouldn't be dangerous to humans (or aliens?), water probably isn't good for the innards of a typical laptop. The laptops I've seen don't tend to be watertight… emc At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well.

How about dragons taking bath in hot oil? (I can't find the reference in Ozy and Millie. Update: but planetscape confirms that dragons do bathe in oil.) Update 2011-10-23: found it, finally: Llewelyn here claims he was bathing in motor oil. (He doesn't specifically say hot. Yes, I tried to search for this before, but all I found is the reference to bathing in mercury, and the one on shining his scales with scale wax.) Update 2012-03-14: and another strip actually shows Llewelyn pouring motor oil on himself in the bath.	[reply]
