[Stoves] Draw out moisture with charcoal

[Kobus Venter]

Stovers

Way off topic and dumb but at the same time miraculous and hilarious. I've had the privilege of dropping my Blackberry in the toilet. Amazing how men can multi-task in emergencies: ripped out the battery (before that was just a blur) and proceeded to dry it out (at arms length) with the hairdryer...but what would absorb the moisture remaining in the sensitive circuits? I suddenly recalled reading on the list about the amazing absorbing properties of charcoal. Simply wrapped the phone in a single serviette placed it in a plastic packet and dumped charcoal over it but did not tie it closed. I left it in there for 48 hours to be safe...and here I am typing away on it. I seem to find all sorts of uses for charcoal lately. Why is this stuff happening to me - or more importantly why am I sharing it? Did I tell you about the time we had a sewage leak...oh perhaps another time.
