I was in class the other day and the instructor was telling us how the IRS saved hundreds of boxes of paper documents that were completely soaked and supposedly ruined after a flood in the basement of the DC headquarters.

They took the boxes of paper and put them on huge freezer trucks for a few days.

Apparently, if you want to remove water from accidental spills or whatnot from paper, put the paper in the freezer for a few days and then shake the ice off. The paper will be completely restored!

Thought that was useful.
