My sister once swam in the ocean and when she came home I submersed
her in fresh water but...

Seriously, I don't quite see how freezing or boiling or submersing
something in water is going to keep it from rusting or otherwise
decaying...  I realize that temperature is correlated to speed of
oxidation, but would someone out there explain how submersing a lense
in water is going to make it not rust?  Maybe if you submersed it in
a more inert fluid...
