Wow, that many keyboards? I've never spilled anything on my keyboard. (Though, having a laptop, I'm REALLY careful with it...)
Even though my hands shake terribly... and I'm a light weight... and I have very slippery glasses that I drink rum out of... Never spilled it. Ever.
Might I suggest a really long straw? =P
i've killed multiple keyboards just through overuse and occasional spillage. Currently i found a source for cheap wired Microsoft keyboards, which is damn handy since a wireless keyboard usually doesn't work well for tweaking BIOS settings. Also, they tend to be more reliable and outlast the wireless keyboards.
For some reason Microsoft's wireless keyboards and mice work badly (at best) with Windows 7. Amusingly Logitech's wireless mice work just fine. As do corded keyboards. When i did a search i found a post from a Microsoft rep explaining how erratic and sluggish mouse response after a while was a low priority fix for Windows programmers. i guess writing reliable drivers for officially branded hardware is a low priority for Microsoft, but a much higher priority for companies that actually rely on selling the hardware as their main source of revenue.
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

Overuse? I'll tell you about over using keyboards: On my old laptop, there were grooves in the keys. I got a tech guy who does all the repairs on my family's computers and he had never seen a keyboard like that before.

That really begs to exist in someone's signature as a quote.

For science, of course. I'm curious how you'll act once really, really drunk.

(Obviously joke is obviously not funny.)
I saw a glass suicide once. I was seven and we went out to Chilis. Apparently the glass was hot and it's contents were cold, for about five minutes you could hear what sounded like ice cracking and then all of a sudden, <[Smash]>, thing just goes on and offs itself.

Mmmm thermal shock.

Ye Gods. I haven't been really really drunk since I was 16 or 17 I think. Once was totally enough for me, ever. Apparently I shotgunned a ketchup bottle once we ran out of alcohol and then went on to go play American Football with a tree and come out ahead. Then I got hosed down and went into shock.|

And actually, my silly socialist country has labour laws that prevent groceries from being open past midnight. And the gas station, the only thing still open at night, doesn't have the BOJ, just more vodka.

...I have no idea if that's good or bad.
It'd make for a cautionary tale at least. On the other hand, I apparently got my super power that night: Vodka resistance. If this was the Cold War I'd have made the perfect spy!

And it's a good thing it's not the Cold War, because if that's the case my country would probably be doomed. =P
Psh. Get in line. Not like there wasn't a NATO plan to just nuke the main corridor through the German central mountains to block a massed Soviet tank assault into Western Europe.
This thread is now about how your country's most likely to be obliterated or would have been at a peculiar point in history.
