Keyboards Are Disgusting

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the my-spacebar-has-spawned-sentient-beings dept.

fredr1k writes " A test carried out by Pegasus Lab on account for Swedish magazine PC För alla showed that a normal PC keyboard was infected by more bacteria than a normal toilet seat. More specific it contained 33000 bacteria per square centimeter, compared to 130 on a ordinary toilet seat. The tests also showed occurrence of up to 3100 fungi per square centimeter." Also note that unless you read Swedish, you still have plausible deniability when asked to windex yours.

    PC for Allah!?
    It is clear that the terrorist have indeed already won...

    By the way, I didn't RTFA, does Allah use Mac or Winblows?
    I reckon it's a nice Mac, and not a wimpy firewire hating Intel one, but a quad G5.

    I heard about this quite a while ago.

    Besides which, didn't the Mythbusters find that the toilet seat is one of the cleanest surfaces in the house (Episode 39)?
