Toilets are Cleaner than Computers

Given the state of my keyboard (I believe I can see tiny microbial skyscrapers),
this is no surprise:

Keyboards have somewhere in the region of 3,295 germs per square inch,
followed by the mouse, fax machine and photo copier, which respectively have
1,676; 301; and 69 germs swarming across every square inch. Other unclean
areas are water fountain handles and microwave door handles, the study noted.
To put the figures in perspective, the average toilet seat in America has
some 49 germs per square inch.

Of course, most of the time, you can’t actually see
my desktop
(both actual and virtual), anyway.

  1. I don’t think the number of germs matters that much…it’s which germs they are. I’d much rather lick my keyboard than a toilet seat 😉

  2. That is 1)info I didn’t need to know and
    2)disgusting.
    am spraying work area with 99% alcohol tomorrow. Can’t wait.
