  • don't listen to the people telling you to put it in rice. putting it in front of a fan will have a much better drying effect. ancient people didn't preserve stuff by putting it in rice

    if you're particularly diabolical, you'll replace the grenade fuse with a smoke grenade fuse which has no delay
