Talk about lucky: DS carts survive the rinse cycle

We all know how destructive small boys can be. Heck, we used to be one and we've destroyed a great many things during our youth. Nintendo, however, has a better idea about the destructive nature of young boys, taking extra special care to make sure that the DS carts that provide us with the great games we love can withstand just about anything.

Or, at least the washing machine. Such is the case of Scott's son, who forgot about a copy of Pokemon and Sonic Rush in his jeans. The jeans went through the entire wash cycle and, upon completion, had the carts removed from the confines of the pocket and they were found to be bone dry. In fact, they booted up just fine.

We're not about to go and try it on our own with our carts, but we guess this is one process of demise we don't really have to concern ourselves with anymore when it comes to game carts.
