Spilled coffee into my laptop fan vent and froze instead of acting fast

I was at a diner in Cleveland last Tuesday, typing up notes, when my elbow knocked a full mug right into the side vent of my Dell. Coffee went in, screen flickered, then went black. I panicked for a solid minute before yanking the battery out and flipping it upside down on a napkin. Let it dry for two days with a fan on it and somehow it booted back up. Anyone else have a liquid spill that should've killed their machine but didn't?

Read somewhere that rice is a myth for drying electronics. @logan648 got lucky with that fan method.
