As Mejwell pointed out the rice trick is basically an urban myth and the rice does not actually provide any more practical moisture absorption than would be accomplished than leaving it on the window sill, which I did. I am open to the idea that an actual chemical dessicant would have probably been effective, but as has been jokingly noted by forums poster "RideTheSpiral" I had no dessicant readily available at the dive bar where I was playing darts and piledrived my phone into a pot of my own hot piss.
