No reason to shoot it down if it's only going to fall into the ocean anyway. I'm sure the Chinese are monitoring both what the N. Koreans send up and whatever (THAAD) is sent up to shoot it down.

HaHa... Unfortunately for the world, times and weapons have changed. What looks like a "toy" then has morphed into an ICBM tipped with a hydrogen warhead. The last laugh may be on us unless decisive action is taken.
Well, they'll only get one strike, and if they do, they'll be totally obliterated.

Earworms - Columbus??? I thought it was the "Indigenous People" who discovered America. 
I made no comment about 'Discovery' only about 'Route.' LOL
Who was here first? Doesn't concern me. Dang though, that buffalo (American Bison) must of been some really good eating.

Yes it is a joke.
Not sure why there are so many people with absolutely no sense of humor or comprehension of what it is and are so PC they have no humor in their lives.

Almost too stupid to actually be funny though. More lame than anything.

Wasn't that the route Christopher Columbus took? LOL

Good luck with cleaning up your camera, Earworms. I'm sure that finding a battery leaking all over our camera is something none of us relish.
All done. Tested it out with fresh batteries, working just fine.
Thank you.

I have had leaking alkaline batteries in many appliances as I'm sure most readers here have. I cleaned up with backing soda.
Whatever, I was only trying to be helpful.

Sorry I was working with experiences that go back over a 1/2 century!
Be that as it may. Backing soda is still your best bet.

I'm plenty experienced also. Baking soda works great on car batteries simply because the PH of baking soda neutralizes the leaking acid of a lead acid battery. In my camera circumstance, ALKALINE not acid batteries were being used. Think about it.

I didn't wont to get deep into this but the reason I suggested using baking soda is that Bon-Ami is a scouring powder and will remove some of the plating on the contacts. If that contact plating is a precious metal it will be very thin.
No, Bon-Ami is NOT a scouring powder. Their motto is "Hasn't Scratched Yet!" Will not remove plating or even scratch plastic.

It's not the Alka Seltzer storage compartment, earbuds!!
In a good mood today, Steve?
Bon-Ami is a very mild/soft kitchen cleanser.

I hope you never have to do that again. If you do I find baking soda works real well for that. Make up a paste, smear it on the affected areas with a Q-tip and go have a beer or three, come back and rinse it off. It should be almost pristine.

Sometimes the corrosion is so bad that it permanently discolors the contacts regardless of how much cleaning is done.

That was scary! I'm glad you were successful in cleaning out that corrosive mess. Do you remember the brand of battery that caused this? There was an issue several months back regarding leaking batteries, and Duracell seemed to be the prime offender. 
Duracell have been the worst for me, so I've stopped using them completely. However this time it was Rayovac. . . .
