- roebeet, on 05/06/2008, -2/+65"Your keyboard can be an incredibly accurate representation of what’s in your nose and your stomach" hehe try a little lower than that...
- WiseWeasel, on 05/06/2008, -3/+57The first thing to do is panic!
People need to stop being such bitches when bacteria are concerned. Your immune system NEEDS them to stay active. Young children should be encouraged to eat several handfuls (diaperfuls) of dirt per day. Using excessive antimicrobial cleaning agents ensures that only the most difficult to kill organisms will remain (which are most likely to resist treatment if you get sick). Buried for sensationalism. - unearth, on 05/06/2008, -5/+485. Your mother.
- mrlivingston, on 05/06/2008, -0/+32I'm sorry, but I'd still rather eat something off anything besides my toilet.
- chesscat, on 05/06/2008, -1/+20Most of this is BS since people have a natural immunity to their own germs. Get over it already. If one tenth of this were true we'd all be dead from using the keyboard alone.
- emix, on 05/06/2008, -0/+16i never wash my hands
- redneckblues, on 05/06/2008, -0/+14My mind.
- isiz, on 05/06/2008, -0/+12No, you wouldn't.
- chrisfu, on 05/06/2008, -1/+135. My wife.
- Shawshanksr, on 05/06/2008, -0/+12congratulations
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -1/+11No *****. This stuff is written by obsessive compulsive people who are jealous of people who arn't, so they try to freak the world out into becoming like them.
- iamtenninjas, on 05/06/2008, -1/+11"Sorry, ladies. It seems your desks — at home and at work — are often up to 400 times more bacteria-laden than a toilet seat"
Jeez, ladies. Quit ***** on your desks. - cnot3, on 05/06/2008, -1/+11They've obviously never seen my toilet.
- aceakm, on 05/06/2008, -0/+10"Of 33 randomly sampled computer keyboards tested by a British consumer group this year" You expect me to believe the credibility of a testing when only 33 subjects were tested? ...
- chesscat, on 05/06/2008, -0/+9Have enough morons digg a story and suddenly it becomes believable. lol
- arcooke, on 05/06/2008, -0/+8The only thing that I ever watch out for is touching things in public restrooms.. not because I'm worried about germs, they're just gross. Other than that, I don't really care.. and I rarely get sick. Maybe once every 2 years or so.
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+8Too bad the money you have in there is still used by tons of people and therefore still pretty darn tainted. Some stripper probably handled that 1$ and some hooker probably handled that twenty.
- thedrue, on 05/06/2008, -1/+8These things are only hazardous to people who have lived their whole lives in an ultra clean environment. People should be much more worried about making it to work and back safe than their computer keyboards.
- choopie911, on 05/06/2008, -0/+7As I said last time there was a frontpage article about how filthy keyboards are:
There has never, ever, ever been serious illness associated with keyboards. Not since typewriters, all the way up to now. Tons of people eat at their keyboard, putting their fingers in and around their mouths with no problems. Who cares. - haydesigner, on 05/06/2008, -0/+6Saying "your sister" is not really more insulting than "your mother", so you're not really raising the ante here.
- KloroFormd, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5"The Hudson River was loaded with raw sewage. That's right, we swam in raw sewage. You know, to cool off. And back then the big fear was polio. Thousands of kids every year were dying of polio. But you know what, in my neighborhood, nobody ever got polio. No one. Ever. You know why? BECAUSE WE SWAM IN RAW SEWAGE. It strengthened our immune system. The polio never had a chance. We were tempered in raw *****.
What are you going to do when some super virus comes along that turns your vital organs into liquid *****? I'll tell you what you're gonna do. You're gonna get sick and you're gonna die and you're gonna deserve it because you're *****' weak and you have a *****' weak immune system."
-- George Carlin - inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5Wow... Has onetimer even commented in this article? You are pathetic.
- santaliqueur, on 05/06/2008, -1/+6Saying "your mother" is about as low on the joke scale as you can get. No wonder it got dugg up.
- KGtheway2B, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5You guys haven't seen my toilet...
I think this article is basing it's arguments on the fact that the toilet is typically an oft-cleaned area.
Oh and of course XKCD: http://inel.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/keyboardsa ... - SaladCactusKing, on 05/06/2008, -2/+7Well, I'd feel dirtier than a toilet if I dugg up a BabyMan post.
- KGtheway2B, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4Besides, boogers are tasty!
- chesscat, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4Classic Carlin. Thanks for the river name correction though I assume they're both equally polluted. lol
- GlryX, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4best way to confer immunity... for yourself
- KBeir, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4If your keyboard looks like the one in the photo, then you're spending way too much time on it.
- chesscat, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4A nice, sane posting. Well done. As George Carlin once said he didn't get sick as a kid because he used to swim in the East River in NY and your immunity needs target practice against germs. lol
- stonebear, on 05/06/2008, -1/+5Bacteria do all right on the keyboard; it's when they get inside of ME that they realize they are trouble. Toxic fast foods FTW.
- WoollyMittens, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4Then you hover face-down over your desk to suck up all the crumbs?
- zcreem, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4I wouldn't use anything placed beside my toilet for food.
- o0adam0o, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4Who cares...i still rather eat off my keyboard than a toilet seat...
- santaliqueur, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3Ask your doctor if Valtrex(tm) is right for you.
- headzoo, on 05/06/2008, -2/+5It's too bad that the washable keyboards available are otherwise lousy keyboards.
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3Quit getting bent over on your desks.
- stevenbrown, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3Hey give them a break! England only has 35 computers.
- danjal, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2I can't stand this dam detol "99.9%" kills germs crap!
- pauldavis, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2but if I lick my toilet it won't taste like Cheetos.
- zcreem, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2I would rate the toilet brush used to sweep the ***** in the bowl dirtier than any of these things.
- darkciti2, on 05/06/2008, -1/+3Butthole FTW !
- alexandramw, on 05/06/2008, -1/+3That's Mr. Baby Man to you.
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2What about her bagina?
- s1mph0ny, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Don't forget about all the cocaine either. Might not technically be "germs" but it'll still ***** you up.
You want that ***** in your wallet, not your pocket. - charlesray, on 05/06/2008, -2/+4Where is "the towel that you masturbate on?"
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2that comic was hilarious, i'm sure some really dumb people actually tried it
- swordphish, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Sorry, but if it doesn't have poo splaterred on it, it's not dirtier than a toilet :-P
I'd happily eat off all 4 of these things before I'd kneel down and eat food off any part of my toilet. - ChromaVita, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2At least it wasn't on 4 pages
