Ice, it's so slippery!

The other day I dropped iPhone 4 into a glass of milk because I wanted it to know what it felt like to be dropped. As in the 22 dropped calls I experience daily. My actions had immediate consequences. I will describe to you, in detail what happens when iPhone becomes submerged in liquid.

Zero hour, iPhone accidentally and unknowingly placed in liquid.

T+38 seconds- Home screen illuminates, error realized, iPhone removed from liquid.

T+42 seconds- No signal, slight hazing of screen. Home button unresponsive.

T+59 seconds- iPhone indicates no sim card.

T+1m32sec- iPhone displays error message explaining that "this accessory is incompatible"

T+3m40sec- iPhone has lost all button functionality

T+5m01sec- Screen turns on and off intermittently

T+12m42sec- Camera flash is on but varying in intensity

T+13m13sec- iPhone in death throes. This is likely the end.

T+57m12sec- Camera flash continues on, iPhone's last gasp.

At this point, I placed iPhone in a sealed container of rice. I thought at the time that I had either placed iPhone in its final resting place or had started a process that would lead to its resurrection. Time stood still as I said goodbye and prayed for divinity.

Three days later, my iPhone had been resurrected. Unlike Jesus, who likely immediately enjoyed the fruits of the kingdom of heaven, iPhone has had some residual effects of its swim. Initially the battery was discharging at a very high rate and the buttons didn't work all the time. However, after a few more days, normal battery life returned. The only issue that continues is some light shading (I will call it scarring) and a couple of lighter streaks on the screen. But it is back and along with it, my daily allotment of dropped calls. Will iPhone never learn?
