    I have an OCZ Rally2 16gb thumb drive. Yesterday, it made a second accidental trip through the washing machine, and much to my surprise, it survived. Amazing...

    .45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

            I did that, but hit the ceiling instead, & because I'm 4'10" can't reach my clothes now! :mad: (Naturist Graphic Designer for hire - Web conference anyone?) :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

              Nice. I tend to kill mine by plugging them in to our industrial PCs where someone has the internal USB cable wired up wrong. -5V across the power input tends to upset the USB controller. Though, they're cheaper to replace than the £200 IO board one person blew up once :rolleyes:

                  I'm torn while reading this. It's just nasty on one hand, but on the other, I've done it. Lucky for me nothing of ever sticks when I try this, we used high gloss paint in my closet. :laugh:

                    It's not the stickyness of the paint you want to worry about! :laugh:

                        My hirsh badge and RSA keyfob have survived between a half dozen and a dozen trips through without damage. The plastic coated ISO policy cards we're issued each year to wear with the badge are generally ruined after the second wash.

                        3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18
