I was just advised to do this with mine.

So, I tried it with my works one. a few bits of dandruff and a couple of dried up bogeys fell out. Fair dues.

I'm now at home for lunch and did it.....OH MY GOD. Nail clippings, bogeys, hairs, eye lashes, bits of skin, and what can only be described as a tiny prawn cracker (ear wax i suspect) fell out.

Has anyone ever died from keyboard poisoning before?

Sleep Envy, you may wish to be excluded from this on the grounds of your OCD. hehe

There was somehting on the BBC news website about this the other day.
Apparently the average keyboard has all sorts of germs, more so than a toilet seat.
Some tested even had whole turds between the keys.

Look for the person in the office who eats their lunch hunched over the keyboard, shake theirs upside down vomit

Nothing like year old fetid tuna mayo to spoil your day.

Sifting through the wreckage, I've also found what might be a small bug.

Not the sort M15 leaves, but some sort of thing with legs.
