Keyboards Have More Bacteria Than a Toilet Seat!

X_Stickman

I train my body to fight off infection by constantly exposing it to unsanitary conditions.

As such, my white blood cells can now effectively fight off both Aids and Cancer, as well as most other diseases. They tried to harvest them for use in treatments, but my immune system can fight off needles too, so they can't get a blood sample.




Seriously people, we need unsanitary conditions. You are not born with an immune system automatically geared to fight off every known infection, and even if you were, bacteria/viruses evolve and change quite fast. If you seal yourself away from these things, then the next time you get a cold, it's going to hit you a lot harder than it usually would.


Also yeah, I don't use those hand blow driers. But that's because they suck and don't dry anything.

Except this one I found on a motorway service station. I don't know how far spread they are yet (that was the first time *I* saw one) but it's like a box that you put your hands in facing down, and it gets your hands dry in about 3 seconds. Properly dry, like wiping them on a towel.

I bathe in filth from time to time. Yup I do my part.

I wonder if that poster would be funny if the tiny tiny letters were readable.

You don't see it and probably won't even feel it, but tests have proven this.

Think about <u><b>THAT</b></u> the next time you brush your teeth. Yeah, most toothbrushes would fall within that range. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I believe we all read 4chan.

lolfighter

You believe wrong. It's the compost heap of the internet. It's where everything goes eventually, starts rotting, and creates new and unique forms of stench. Only compost fetishists go there.

I believe we all <i>don't</i> read 4chan <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad-fix.gif" />

I stop off at 4chan when I'm really, really, <i>really</i> bored...

Im pretty sure that 4chan didn't create the motivational poster. And that one most likely didn't even come from 4chan. More so, calling it the compost heap of the internet doesn't make sense, considering alot of 'funny' material you see around the internet can originate there.

Correct. It is a rotting pile of meat instead.

Abra

wow guys. I just googled motivational poster and picked the one with the bald eagle on it. I don't know what the small print says, but I felt 'commitment' was the right word for my filthy-ness. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
Also, I guess it doesn't come as a surprise that; "[...]Keyboards Have More Bacteria Than a Toilet Seat!"

Hey, if you find compost or rotting meat entertaining, that's your business. Who am I to judge? At least you're not a paedophile.

You ARE not a paedophile, right?

hum what is it i cant remeber the source but its something like this, if you wear head phone ear buds for more than a hour at a time you incrase the chance of getting a bacterial ear infection by 700%

Actually that's old news Thaldy...

If Iran has so low intelligence, why's everybody so worried they'll build a "nucelar" bomb? It's not THAT easy.

Actually enriching uranium is pretty easy, if you wished you could do it in your basement. It would just take awhile.

NATURAL SELECTION FORUMS, Internet (AP) -- A resident of the Natural Selection message board was arrested today after making suspect comments on the popular internet website.

The FBI is currently keeping the users exact claims under wraps, but several sources suspect that they were related to some form of nuclear device.

I actually think my keyboard has more nanites then bacteria. Marines are overpowered last I heard...

he more people that touch something with their dirty human hands will be more dirty than something that is hardly touched. Also a public toilet is cleaned everyday (i'd like to hope so anyway lol) and a keyboard is never cleaned. All depends on the circumstances though.

Oh this reminds me of a story at work - we used to have this guy that sucked on his fingers - let me pull the email out that i sent to managment lol.. ( ive replaced the names for annonymityty eiety or however its spelt)

<!--coloro:#00BFFF--><span style="color:#00BFFF"><!--/coloro-->Dear high up manager 1 & manager 2,

I would like make an official complaint about "Bob the finger sucker"for hygiene issues and about "Jim our acting manager"for failing to act on it. I believe I am exercising my right to work in a safe (and disease free) work place.

Unfortunately I have the misfortune of sharing a desk with a salivating individual who is unable to refrain from keeping his entire index and middle fingers from his oral not mention nasal cavities (but not always in that order).

These hands and fingers then go on touching other equipment which other staff need to use. I also get a concerned when I ask "Bob the finger sucker" a question and he turns and mumbles “what?” as most people cannot pronounce words clearly with two fingers in their mouth.

I fear my own health and for the health of my colleagues, as saliva known to carry more diseases than urine.

I have tried to take action as I find it quite disturbing, however without any luck.

I’ve asked "Bob the finger sucker" if he could stop, however it still continues.

Myself, and other I.T.staff have brought this to "Jim our manager's" attention several times but it has not been resolved. I have also mentioned this as an official complaint today in my annual review, to which "Jimi our manager's" response was – “I’m not able tell "Bob the finger sucker" to stop as it’s a personal issue”. Which, to me is unsatisfactory.

Thanks & Regards,
Schkorpio.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

EDIT - the part where it says "i asked if he could stop" was more like me , yelling at him infront of everyone, WTF are you doing lol. I figured mass embarresment might work. but some addictions just can't be broken.
