    Gee, I would hate to be an OCD-affected office worker to know that factoid.

    Kinda makes you wonder what they’re doing on those office desks.

    Keep in mind the size difference between a toilet seat and an office desk. Also the fact that not all bacteria is bad for you. Still a good idea to wash your hands though.

    Sooner or later, the office desks in Venice will have more algae also.

    Seems to me if they guy is so desperate to get rid of his wife, others will know there’s something wrong with her and not want to spend the money. HE should be paying OTHERS to take her.

    A couple of years ago, I heard someone say that the density (count per sq. inch or per sq. centimeter) of bacteria is a lot less on a toilet seat than most other places in the house. One reason is we are more concerned about the toilet seats, so are more concerned about keeping them clean.

    I worked with a lady that would pour rubbing alcohol on her key board every morning even though no one touched her desk and she couldn’t figure out why her key board stopped working every month or so, we tried telling her but nope, the alcohol wasn’t the cause…….

    Could someone explain the difference between legal and strictly legal?

    If you kill all the bacteria in your daily life your immune system atrophies and eventually you get sick.
