From this morning's RAMP newsletter, an interesting statistic...
"It turns out that despite the many water hazards out there, the biggest liquid-based menace to mobile phones is the toilet. A British cell phone comparison site surveyed almost 2,000 cell phone owners, and they found that the No. 1 way people damage their mobile phones is by accidentally dropping them in the toilet, with a full 47% of respondents' cell phones meeting their demise in the giant, swirling maw of their commode."
I've never done that, but one of my sons did lose an iPod that way.
