Absolutely nothing will happen except, possible a popped breaker. Water isn't THAT good of a conductor. Saltwater is a little better. It would take a lot more current than what would run through those wires to zap someone. Drop an extension cord into a 5 gal bucket and measure the voltage to ground, almost nil. If the picture was a very dangerous situation, my anodizer and tig welder would have killed me many times by now!!

Certainly a novel concept...

What gets me is that there's not just one guy in there. THREE of them thought this was a good idea...

It's either a joke and it's not plugged in, or they are techs or engineers and took measurements first. If they were truly stupid would they have such a variety of good beer? I think not.

I once had access to a glass pottrey with mercury inside, and since i was very curious about how liquid metal feels, i start squeeshing it with my finger tip, quite dense, very unique.

Ah, I washed my hands after

Mercury in its pure form doesn't absorb into the skin very readily. Someone with a couple amalgam fillings probably has more mercury in their system than this guy picked up from his swim.
