So tell me Jinx, how much milk will a keyboard hold? Flounder wanted me to ask you.

lol...Ok, I had the misfortune of knocking over a full glass of chocolate milk one night at the desk.
We're talking a big glass here, 32oz of fluid goodness taking a straight shot into my keyboard.

Other than the few drops that splattered my chest, the keyboard held the full 32oz. (All the way to the sink even, so I'm guessing it wasnt completely full, and this personal record can be beat...lol)

Out of curiousity, what kind of keyboard was it? I'll try to find a bigger one.

This sounds like a challenge.

The dude that can hold the most amount of chocolate milk in their keyboard, and still have that keyboard work will receive a heatsink from me.

Pics are required for proof, and any photoshoped pics will be easily fournd out. The winner will have to prove that it was the same keyboard that held the milk as the one that continued working. Contest ends on 1 June 2004. (dudes, remind me.)

I will be the sole judge in this. So far, I guess Jinx is winning with his 32oz, but I haven't seen a pic of it yet.

Good lock to all you pimps milking your keyboards!
