Check yourself


There are about 2,022,300 germs on your keyboard right now!
That's equivalent to the number of germs on 404 toilet seats.


I think I'm gonna start taking my meals in the rest room... :shocked:

Btw I'm aware this has the potential of being a repost, though I looked for it.

Anyway... Post how filthy you are...

Who cares?

Whaa, whaa, whaa nasty germs, all around me, on my skin, inside me keeping me alive, whaa, whaa, whaa ;)

To follow up, how many times have you become ill from your keyboard? Yup, that's right, zero (0) times.

Hmm, I think I should stop jumping around the house, posting crap, and work some of this pent-up post-work energy out at the gym ;)

Ya, I'm not gonna worry about the "germ-freeness" of my keyboard until I start wiping my ass with it. And since that would probably be very uncomfortable... I really don't ever see it happening.

How about, "How many germs are on the keyboards in a computer lab open to anyone in the college campus?"

Someone who works in the computer center said that she once found a few empty condom wrappers stashed on top of one of the computers. Who knows what all might be on those keyboards.

Got a sticky key? It might not be soda.

My WASD skills will defeat them all!

Even when I'm playing a puzzle game or browsing the web, I find my fingers resting on WASD :eek:

I spray my keyboard with anti-bacterial disinfectant every other week or so. It only takes about ten seconds.
