Water and Phones Don't Mix

College Kids,

I dropped my cellphone in the toliet by accident. What should I do?

Liane,

I am sorry to say now that your lovely cellular phone might be ruined, but if you knew this helpful tip your phone might have been saved. Immediately after you drop something in any water such as the pool or toilet. Run inside and get a bowl and fill it with dry rice. Rice absorbs the water thus curing your problem. This trick also works with other electronics, PDAs, PSPs, etc.

Best of luck,
