I was wondering what I did with my really cool swiss army knife thumb drive - the one that my jr advisor gave me, that has Dr. T. written on it.

Found it in the bottom of the washing machine.

I've left it sitting out, hoping it will dry and be fine.  Anyone have any idea?  

Leaving in five minutes for Boston and a talk on my phud research .... which I haven't thought about in three years.  Fortunately, my diss is only 65 pages long, so it was pretty easy to review.  Pity I don't have a flashy new powerpoint presentation, and haven't read the relevant lit for three years.  But I never did like pp, and a chalk talk should be perfectly sufficient.
