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?

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!

But what could drive a spider to suicide? Not enough flies to eat? Evicted from your web?
