A friend of mine once dropped a lens in a large body of water, and his
first step was to put the thing in the freezer to keep the rust from
happening quickly.  This seemed rather extreme to me, but he was able to 
get the thing in to a camera shop about a week later and the lens
was ok, although never quite the same.  This sounds about as crazy as
putting the thing in boiling water...
