I will never touch another keyboard again

[catalyst2]

I started to type this morning and found some of my keys were a bit funny and "crackly". I never eat at my keyboard at work but I do share the PC with other people so I thought it might be crumbs or something. I tipped the keyboard over and shook it out. Out fell (bits of) lots of dead little spiders - babies I presume because some of them were almost intact. Dozens, I tell you - DOZENS!

Repeat after me:

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Once the squealing stopped - I really have to stop making that noise - several questions occurred to me.

Why were they there?
Were they there yesterday when I spent all day at the PC?
Why were they all dead - some kind of spider suicide pact?
Where are the adult spiders - or are they just waiting until I'm not watching and then they will wreak their vengeance upon me?

Looks like I'm in the minority when I say, aw, poor little spiders....

It's still better than an eviscerated bird in the bathroom!! :D

I don't have a problem with spiders, but multiple dead ones in your keyboard? Ewwwwwwwwwwww is right!

I vote for the spider suicide pact!

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

OMG. Seriously. EW. That just makes my stomach roll and my skin crawl. Now I am paranoid about my keyboard, even though I pop the keys off and clean it out monthly, because I saw two big spiders on my desk recently, not together, but on the same day, and I'm thinking now, were they scouting out my keyboard for housing? Does my keyboard look like a practical place for their offspring? I'm going to put up a sign that says NO VACANCY.
