What Does Your Keyboard Say?



From an article on The Register:

A probe into the the nutritional content of the average keyboard has discovered that it contains an unhealthy balance of bread crumbs, crisp fragments, meat, sugar, salt and jam. Worse still, this inadequate diet is supplemented with toe and fingernail clippings, grit, glue and pubic hair.

I’ve seen that my own keyboard accumulates all sorts of crap over time. On plain keyboards, I used to simply invert the keyboard and tap a few times till I got rid of all the dirt. Its harder on a laptop. The other day, I saw a silverfish crawling out of my keyboard. I wonder how (and when) it got there?
