If you eat at your desk, your keyboard could be a cesspool of hazardous organisms. In a recent study, the Royal Society of Chemistry found that some keyboards in London tested positive for the E. coli virus, as well as dangerous coliform and enterobacteria.
These bad microbes result from office workers eating over their keyboards and dropping crumbs between the buttons, which are then eaten at night by mice and other varmints that leave tiny pieces of feces where they had their meal.
The next day, the clueless officer worker mashes the feces into the tips of his fingers. If he then touches his fingers to his face, or eats more food without washing his hands, he runs the risk of disease or infection.
If I were going to make a list of “Ways To Be Cool” I may include similar things. Motorcycles for one are undoubtedly cool…mohawks as well…and who can deny the coolness of exxxtreme everything.
Seeing their juicy red flesh in the shops is a sign that summer is on its way. But this year your strawberries could be as white as the cream poured over them, after a new variety went on sale today. The pineberry is said to combine the shape and texture of a strawberry with a flavour and smell closer to that of a pineapple.
Someone once said that necessity is the mother of all invention. Prison is one of the few places where very few common wants and needs are fulfilled; resources are incredibly limited and ardently regulated. Prisoners, who are not content to only posses what “the man” tells them they can have, are forced to use their critical thinking skills prison-genuity, anyone?
