What's wrong with this picture?

Hint: it is from Australia, with 230VAC 50Hz power...

I hope that the rubber floating sandals don't sink...

Kiddies, don't try this at home...

I know what's wrong! They've got no ice to keep the beer cold!

I dunno, do they drink warm beer in Oz like they do in most of Europe and the UK :purplex: :urgh: :parp:

Besides, we ALL know what a bunch of beered up guys will do in a swinning pool... That only serves to raise the salinity level and hence the conductivity of the water :o Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_04

I don't recognize the beer labels, except one looks similar to a KB (King's Brew) and we don't see too many "cobalt blue" beer bottles here in the USofA Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_11 :o

We absolutely DO NOT drink warm beer in Oz and can't really understand why anyone would.

We also have 240V AC Mains here.
We also have the occassional temporary twit. I regret his impending demise.

Cheers from Oz,

He's just helping clean up the gene pool.

My God! Why would anyone be so reckless to do something like this and smile about it? Simply amazing!

Major contenders for the 2008 Darwin Award.... Nature indeed has a way of weeding out those who have self-destructive tendencies...

I didn't think that Ozzies drank warm, but then I'm sure that the fridges in The Land Down Under aren't made by Lucas Electric (AKA The Prince of Darkness), either.

But then this group of guys in the overgrown kiddie pool probably don't understand the difference between warm vs cold brewskis Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_09

'At's not a smile, mate. It's an involuntary muscle reaction. You can only imagine what kind of involuntary reaction is going on below the water line.

If you need a proof for natural selection, you got one here. I am just amazed how these species made it this far. I also wonder if recent advance in technology is selecting for such intelligent creatures.
