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 …

to be fair strange things happen - I just dropped my powerbook and mashed a corner - never dropped it before, and its now 3 years old and looking weather beaten!

I would never befoul my laptop by bringing it into the crapper, but that's just me.

I don't do it, because I enjoy taking a break form the screen. But I don't see how it should be a problem. When you sit down, your hands are in exactly the same condition as before…

He was taking a dump in the tub that's how it was big enough for the PB to fall into.

It can happen if you are chronically bow-legged.

I accidently knocked over a glass of water on my PB 15" directly on to the keyboard, while it was on, wiped it up as best as I could, and it still works just perfectly fine, includ…
