Morning Discussion: Water Curses

While I normally find rain somewhat soothing, especially when it comes to sleeping, the sound of dripping water isn't nearly as relaxing just a few hours after a neighbor's washing machine decides to drain its liquid contents through your ceiling.

One minute you're playing Left 4 Dead, the next you're wondering why it sounds like there's a fountain behind you, and why it seems to be coming out of a light socket. Not exactly the most calming recollection--uh, is it happening again--when attempting sleep.

But... that was yesterday! Let's see what sort of magic Thursday has in store for us.

    Water through the light socket? That sounds safe!

        Sounds like it has some ground in reality.

            You could say he will be struck by lightning on a electricity pole while dancing on a transformer and holding a resistor and wearing an inductor as a belt, luckily his capacitor helmet will save him.

      Sounds like a Three Stooges episode.

      That actually happened in my house. I had no idea anything was wrong until I went to go replace a light bulb and the light fixture was filled with water.
