Latex Gloves Anyone?

Here's a nice little jewel from Slashdot
A test carried out by Pegasus Lab on account for Swedish magazine PC För alla showed that a normal PC keyboard was infected by more bacteria than a normal toilet seat. More specific it contained 33000 bacteria per square centimeter, compared to 130 on a ordinary toilet seat. The tests also showed occurrence of up to 3100 fungi per square centimeter
Gotta love that! And here I thought my job as a PC technician was pretty sanitary.

I'd guess that the FB library comps are running close to 330,000 bacteria per cm2, wouldn't you? If the sci lab ever wants to culture pond scum, we should donate a keyboard or two.

I do have to wonder if they identified any bacterial strains. Villains, heroes...who knows?
