How can I Support the Cause?
Perhaps the easiest way to support
the Ban Useless Keys revolution is to surgically remove them from your keyboard, as demonstrated
in this graphically-interesting photo to the right. Extraction can be performed preferably with
a screwdriver or other sharp object. (Keys can feel pain too you know, so show em what pain really
is.)
If you really feel the hatred, you could perform an interesting scientific experiment by
melting the keys with a magnifying glass in the hot sun. However, I am sure there are plenty
of other useful things you can do with your spare keys, such as:
- Make a cool necklace to show your geeky interest in pre-modern technology.
- Glue them together into a robot, and make a stop-motion educational film about safety in the home.
- Switch them with various other keys on your keyboard, or better, your friend's keyboard.
- Attach many together to form a snake-like marionette and create your own puppet show for young and old alike.
- Get a program to bind the keys to useful functions, like shutting down Windows, or ordering instant coffee.
- Paint new stress-relief labels on them, such as "Invade Slovakia", "Frag a Random Noob" or "Explode Computer"
- Find a way to get these new panic buttons to actually perform their given tasks. The screwdriver may again come in handy.
If you have any examples to share the revolutional community of how you have coped with the
problem of these useless keys, then feel free to email details and photos. (No emails above
100k please.)
