I decided to do this as soon as I got into work this morning, because then no one would have to witness my awkward attempts at trying to take a selfie while eating a cracker and holding my keyboard to make sure it was in the picture. Goldfish for breakfast!
Biologically however, our keyboard may be more of a nature preserve for germs than the office toilet. The latter, at least, gets a nightly once-over from the cleaning crew. Your keyboard may never have been cleaned, making it a breeding ground for all sorts of bugs. A study by a University of Arizona biologist found computer keyboards contained more germs per square inch than did toilet seats in the same office; 67 times as many! - See more at: http://www.greenkeyllc.com/blog/do-the-keyboard-shake-to-celebrate-crackers-over-the-keyboard-day/#s

That's not a reason to call out the hazmat unit. Most of the germs are, well, germs that are everywhere and to which we all have some degree of immunity, especially since those on your keyboard come mostly from you. As microbiologist Dr Peter Wilson told the BBC when a study in the U.K. turned up results similar to the Arizona study: "If you look at what grows on computer keyboards, believe it or not, it's more or less a reflection of what's in your nose and in your gut." - See more at: http://www.greenkeyllc.com/blog/do-the-keyboard-shake-to-celebrate-crackers-over-the-keyboard-day/#sthash.8TBUy7P
