Cruft

I cleaned out the keyboard for my office computer today.  I popped each key out, a row at a time, and with a q-tip and some canned air, I got rid of the cruft that has been collecting for 18 months. 

I cannot believe how filthy it was, considering that I rarely eat at my desk.  Anyway, it wasn't food that was collecting in between the keys, it was bits of me!  The dirt inside seems to be comprised of only skin flakes and small hairs - about a teaspoon's worth of bodily decay.  Word to police forensics - don't bother trying to collect DNA samples from hair found on a brush, just swab the spaces between the keys, and you'll get all the DNA you need.

FWIW - I never thought I'd use the "gross" tag again.
