Yay for solid-state electronics!
I did laundry on Sunday, as I sometimes do. Usually I empty the pockets of garments as I remove them, so I don't usually check. When I opened the washer on this particular Sunday, however, my 256MB flash drive was sitting there weeping at me. There was actually moisture coming from the device. I wept too.
I didn't weep for long, because I have a short attention span. Later I wanted to use a program I had stored on the flash drive. I plugged it in, and to my surprise, it worked! All my files and whatnot are still there. It also smells April Fresh™, which may be even better.
