The Daily Mail reports that teenagers combating a 34°C heatwave have converted a living room into a swimming pool. Commentators note that it could be dangerous move for many reasons:

As well as posts congratulating the boys' creative way of keeping cool in the summer heat, there were others who branded them 'idiots'.

'The water is about half a metre high, which means it is about half a ton for every square metre. I wonder if their neighbours will gather altogether to give them a good lesson?,' one said.

'I hope the electric plugs are way above the water level,' another added, while a third person said: 'I hope they cut their nails really well before going inside...what if they break the film.'

Regardless, the pictures are funnier than the hottub Cadillac.

    The "reverse" also works -- a sheet of plastic on top of a swimming pool makes a waterbed. Just keep the edges of the sheet above water level if you want to stay dry.
