Floating Plug Strip For The Pool
This is a group photo of a few 2008 Darwin Award candidates. These geniuses set up an electric grill on a table in the center of an above-ground pool. The grill is plugged into a plug strip floating on the water on a pair of sandals. No word on whether the apparatus was plugged into a GFCI-protected outlet.

Re: Floating Plug Strip For The Pool
Gotta give credit to the camera guy, I'll bet he's the smart one that didn't get in.

GFCI? that wouldn't make me feel at ease in that situation.
