      Electricity can pass through water because the impurities in it, such as rock salt, can transmit it. Pure water can’t conduct. This is why it’s dangerous to make toast in the bath.

      So Sam, what you’re saying is that if I take a bath in pure, distilled water, and then make some toast… 😛

      (just kidding. Don’t try that at home. Rather go play with some diet coke and mentos instead)
