NPR : Are Computer Keyboards Dishwasher Safe?
Studies show that computer keyboards have more bacteria than toilet seats. But it’s hard to clean all those keys. So some people advocate an extreme solution: Throw your keyboard in your dishwasher.
I’ve done this twice before with 100% success. In both cases a sugary drink was spilled on the keyboard and keys started sticking. I just washed on the short cycle alone in the dishwasher (without soap) and let it dry for a few days before plugging it back in. My other option of course was to throw the keyboards away so I really didn’t have anything to lose.
A small amount of soap shouldn’t hurt, just be sure to shake all the water out and let it dry for a few days.
I have not tried this on a wireless keyboard, but I suspect it would work, be sure to take the batteries out first.
God Said Pi = 3; Stand By Your Beliefs Dammit « Gospel of Reason
He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it. Below the rim, gourds encircled it - ten to a cubit. The gourds were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea. The Sea stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east. The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center. It was a handbreadth in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths. (NIV)
