But I don't know much about this -- surely someone here does?
iPod + H2O = ?

Not sure what weight the sticker carries, but I am sure someone here will enlighten us.
Just to be safe, I outlined my donation wishes in my living will and in my durable power of attorney for healthcare. My husband is well aware of my wishes (and will likely fear me in death as he does in life so he will follow them) as do my parents and sister. Finally, I carry a small card in my wallet stating my wishes so the EMTs will know too.
W/R/T to the iPod and water -- please let us know the answer just as soon as yours dries out.
