Not sure I could find any "geek culture" item higher in the "geek" stakes than this - the listing is funny, the q&a are even better

[edit] the current highest bidder is "whothef*kwouldbuythis"

I laughed at that out loud; my brother thinks it's funny as hell as well.

I don't usually laugh at internet humour but that one tickled the funny bone(r).

Most funny joke. S keys are prone to falling off If I remember rightly it didn't really have "keys". Well sort of, but they were all covered by a single sheet of plastic with the letters in the correct places (slightly raised I think). So there was no way anything was going to fall off, unless the whole plastic top fell off (then the whole lot would go).

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing
