The phone was in my shirt pocket until I bent over to lift the seat when it slid down the pan - I fished it out immediately and took the battery off which saved it (left it to dry for 24 hrs). I was lucky on 3 counts - I saved my phone; I hadn't started pissing yet; the person before me had flushed. Yes, i scrubbed my arm till it was red raw...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lowdowndirty]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Student trapped in toilet after fishing for cellphone]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/07/student-trapped-in-toilet-after-fishing-for-cellphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/07/student-trapped-in-toilet-after-fishing-for-cellphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[How would one of the Korean "germ-free" coated phones hold up under this kind of abuse?  Perhaps now you understand why they put those coatings on there.

As we were going by I saw it and was close enough to reach out and quickly grab it. It didn't turn on but after taking it apart and letting it dry it worked perfect. Its a nokia 6200 I think and it can withstand anything some other adventures include: using it as a hockey puck, playing hackey sack with it, I once ran it over, and i've dropped it numerous times.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Simeon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Student trapped in toilet after fishing for cellphone]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/07/student-trapped-in-toilet-after-fishing-for-cellphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/07/student-trapped-in-toilet-after-fishing-for-cellphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[i dunno, out of habit i always always call my friends on the crapper. they know it too, and theyve come to accept it. thats just my habit<br><br>however i have dropped my phone in before, but i wasnt even using it. it was in my hoodie pocket, it just fell in.<br><br>however, this guy is just an embarrassement to all lebanese people. im lebanese. im embarrassed.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[crysalis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Student trapped in toilet after fishing for cellphone]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/07/student-trapped-in-toilet-after-fishing-for-cellphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/07/student-trapped-in-toilet-after-fishing-for-cellphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[You should have seen how pissed the rescue team was when they realised the student was trapped simply from him failing to let go of the phone.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Psiven]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Student trapped in toilet after fishing for cellphone]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/07/student-trapped-in-toilet-after-fishing-for-cellphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/07/student-trapped-in-toilet-after-fishing-for-cellphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sorry, but my p910 wound up in the laundry where I grabbed it from the wash cycle vibrating madly from the short circuits.
