sawyl | Of keyboards, cruft and eyelashes

One of the downsides of having an Apple keyboard is the way the white keys show the dirt and the transparent front shows all the crap trapped underneath. Finally fed up with the filth, I opted to take mine to pieces and clean the key caps with a nailbrush — they'll pop off if you lever the gently — only to discover the answer to one of life's great mysteries. I now know where eyelashes go when they detach themselves: they go and live in computer keyboards. So much for that old myth about them going off to grant wishes. Stupid lazy pieces of hair.
