Yup, as Aron said, rice works wonderfully. I dropped my iPhone in a rain-filled gutter. It spent the next day or so in a baggie filled with uncooked rice. Cured!
"And since we know the Bible has many other rather dubious prohibitions that are conveniently ignored, it always amazes me that people manage to cherry-pick the admonitions that seem to support their prejudices and still keep a straight face." Beautifully said, Violet!! That is exactly true. I come from a fundamentalist upbringing (I have fully recovered, by the way) and remember asking my mom during a boring church service about one passage in Leviticus (same book that says homosexuality is a sin)--it said that a person shall not cut their hair, tattoo their skin or wear mixed fabrics. I guess with my rayon blend shirt, tattooed body and stylishly cut hair, I will be burning in hell with my gay brother. *shrugs* Oh well!! Congrats to all the newlywed Californians!!
