That's more than five million cups of splattered tea every week in the U.K. The average desk is tied up by nearly 50 feet of wiring -- enough to mug a mug, steal its contents and throw it on the ground. None of the people polled confessed to being a cubicle klutz. Before you say aloud, "Someone in Redmond got paid to do this?," consider this -- Microsoft is coming out with a wireless keyboard. Hmmm.
