A few days ago, I unknowingly spilled water on a pile of old photo prints that I am planning on scanning. They dried, and now, as a result, the bottom twenty are stuck together. How can I separate the prints without tearing or otherwise ruining them? If that is impossible, I still have the negatives somewhere; how can I best scan negatives into a regular flatbed scanner?

I spilled a little bit of juice on a few of the keys on my Kindle.

What's the best way to unstick the keys without damaging the Kindle? [more inside]
