  1. Types of food on The Worst Foods to Eat Over a Keyboard · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think it's better to go with types of food rather than individual foods. Here are my top 3:

    1. Food that can crumble into small pieces that are hard or hardens because when they get stuck under the keys u can't really push down on the keys to type anything. Sometimes shaking it will make it go under other keys. Will have to spend a while removing the key caps and cleaning. Chips, bread crumbs, etc.

    2. Sticky foods, or foods/drinks that turn sticky when dried up. Examples are soda water and BBQ sauce. When u spill coke and don't clean it all up, it's going to dry and turn sticky, thus trapping in foods in #1.

    3. Stinky food....I eat stuff sometimes by dipping in fish sauce. when that stuff gets on the keyboard it's hard to get rid of the smell unless u do a full blown cleanup

  2. Fountain of Youth! Sexual potency! on Spam Capital of the World · · Score: 1
    story about how South Florida is home to more spammers than any other place in the world according to Spamhaus

    500 years too late for Ponce de Leon. 5 seconds in the water and a bunch of gators popped up!

  3. Flushed out! on Spam Capital of the World · · Score: 1
    anecdotal evidence that the amount of spam worldwide fell for a while after last year's hurricanes in Florida

    They had to wait till the sewers were drained back to normal levels

  4. Re:1 small problem with spreadsheets on $10B Annual Tab for Spreadsheet Errors? · · Score: 1

    Talk about spreadsheet abuse! A project i worked on for the production division of an oil company involved a huge spreadsheet with over 50 fields. they pretty much used it as a "database". Took a while to sift thru the data and make an access DB out of it and normalize the data(they didn't even use IDs).
