, Jovi classic.
It was because I get to see if my experiment worked.
[Geeky day dream sequence starts now]
"I crept into the kitchen, like I am a lion stalking my prey. I caught the bowl of rice un-aware, drinking water from my phone. I jumped and landed with paws in the bowl, grabbing and clawing at the heart of the rice, where the phone has been residing. I picked out the phone first, then the battery and finally the battery cover. (Do not ask me why I put a flat plastic cover in the rice.)"
[End Scene]
I assembled the phone quickly, blew off the dust and turned it on. It works... Mostly... Everything on the gadget has been working perfectly since yesterday, except for the front LCD screen on the lid. It kinda fizzled and crackled and blinked out just after I turned on the phone. But as you will see in the photos I uploaded it really is a crowning DIY achievement on a rather minor scale.
Thank you for reading.

Ha! Thanks for the heads up. Now I know what to do the next time Scooter gets a hold of my phone. :)
That is a great idea. Did you get it from the Horatio Hornblower episode? You know, the one where the captured ship has no water in the bilges, but then it bursts at the seams because the rice in the cargo holds was absorbing it all?
Did not get the idea form Horatio Hornblower, but from Popular Mechanics, "One hundred things a man should know." Mid to late of last year.
