I had to register to post my crisis, but I just accidentally dumped my brand new 17" powerbook into my toilet as I was on the can typing away. My fire alarm went off and soon enou…

Is this a joke, or ... ? How does a laptop, much less a huge 17" Powerbook, fall into the toilet, after being in your lap? It makes sense that it would fall to the floor when you …

EDIT: deleted post.

"They" might replace it, where they is your homeowners/renters insurance.

That sucks man. i thought it was bad when my gf dropped (and lost) her pretty nice watch into the toilet as it was flushed Did you remove the battery? Let everyting dry completel…

You must have a pretty big toilet to fit a 17" PB.

If you're going to try to claim this with your homeowner's insure, you had better come up with a better story than this.

Eat more fiber, lesson learned.

Did you crap on it as well?

Ok, it is physically impossible to have a 17" Powerbook fall through your legs and into a toilet if you were suddenly standing up. If you did manage to do it; I recommend you quick…

I can't imagine how someone would type on a 17" powerbook while crapping... wouldn't that be too difficult to bother with?

that could seriously burn your bare legs.

OMG, this has to be a joke. How could someone type on it and it not be too hot for his bare legs, and how does a 17" PB fit into a toilet bowl?

Ok, if my PowerBook fell into the toliet, I don't think I'd want to use it again....

Okay, let's end this madness, the guy just made this up to start a thread because he was bored. Just think about it, if he had his powerbook on his lap and then gets up for an emer…

I accidentally dropped my cell phone in the toilet once. I stood up and as I pulled my pants up it flew off the belt clip and directly into the toilet. I disconnected the battery…

I'm more amazed that you continued using the phone. The Code says "If you drop your cellphone into the toilet.......man, it's gone".

I could see knocking a 12'' PB off the counter and into the toilet(almost did this once, cought it before it fell in the cess-pit.). How a 17'' could fit i dont know.

A lot of electronics will still work after being soaked, as long as there hasn't been any power through them until they're dry.

My wifes cat pissed all over one of my Socket-A motherboards that was sitting in a box. I hosed it off under the faucet with some mild soap scrubbing with a toothbrush. Blew it …
