If you picked up your keyboard right now, turned it over and shook it, what interesting things appear?

Probably enough crumbs to assemble a cracker.

a tremendous amount of dust here in the school computer. the air filters rarely get cleaned or changed, and there is always a layer of dust on things here. janitors aren't "permitted" to touch anything on a teacher's desk or table, so there's never any "dusting" done. sometimes I run an index card between the keys to get some of the dust bunnies out of there.

Nothing.
My cube and computer get dusted almost weekly (sometimes I skip a week). I use a compressed air spray-thingy to clean the keyboard. I'm hoping Santa brings me one of them mini-vac things, too.
Yes, I know I'm a dork.

Just a lot of crumbs, though I cleaned it last week so I should be mostly okay. And some dust.

Couple of errantly pulled staples, a paper clip, some cracker crumbs, and some dust balls

Nothing. I recently got a new keyboard because the crumbs were interfering with the way the last one worked.

Dust, one eyelash, and one toothpick.
I hope there is no connection between the latter two items.

The ant was probably feeding on the crumbs and died of food poisoning....

Actually the ant was on his way to the crumbs when he got stuck in the ear wax. He starved to death. He looked pretty anorexic.
