    There's an Xbox One protest gone awry.

    If it was an FZ-1 it would have probably landed there having deflected a earth bound meteorite, a meteorite that would have killed us all!
    Take it out of the river.
    Pop it in the hot press for a couple of days.
    Bang!
    Back playing Return Fire before you know it!

    Pull it out, throw it in a bag of rice for a few weeks and see what happens!

    Probably sadly in there in the first place because it was broken, rather than for preservation :P

    Maybe installed as a water feature or abstract art.

    The only way those things break is failed mod attempts, more likely given its in the canal is that is was dumped there by a pleasant burglar who needed to shed weight :pac:

    I'd still pay more for that than an Xbox One

    Well, you electrocuted yourself with your Xbox mod attempts, didn't you?
    I keep imagining Homer grabbing something painful, then doing it again and again....

    Not entirely, I killed one once myself. Well it's fixable, I just need the eeprom reader, but meh, I have a crystal one there so I'm not bothered about fixing the normal one.
