Uhh...the computer wasn't plugged in anymore when it was doused. Read the story.

The bottled water was within arms reach, and it was no name water from Aldi. It took a whole 2 liter bottle to waterboard that baby.

Actually my son is the happy one, cause' now he has a new PC. His brother though, is eye balling it jealously. Just so he doesn't get any ideas, I need to hide all the fire making accessories in the house.

I wish I could. Usually I save all my PC purchase receipts, but I can't seen to find that one.
