    Default How many germs live on your keyboard?

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

    Statistically there should be at least one birthday party every day on my keyboard I think.

    Maybe it'd be better if I washed it in the dishwasher?
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Maybe we should use a toilet seat instead of a keyboard...

    Actually if you unplug it, vacuum it and wash it with water and then leave it to dry on the washing line for a couple hours you'll find it still works. I've done that before.

    There are about 2,202,060 germs on your keyboard right now!
    That's equivalent to the number of germs on 440 toilet seats.
    Having a dog did wonders to increasing that.

    The toilet seat?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    You can do that with your computer, cellphone and TV as well, just make sure they're perfectly dry (that's the hard part ) before giving them electrical energy again.
    Though I'd advise not to try it.

    edit: if you really love your gadgets, you can dry them in a microwave oven before using them again but then I doubt you'll be able to use them again...

    I remember from a National Geographic documentary that nearly as many organizms as the entire human population on earth live on and inside the body of an averagely healthy and clean human being, and that most of their functions, if at all, weren't identified.

    We're not alone.
