A weight to hold down a key on the keyboard?

Hi all,
Anyone know if there's a such thing as a weight to hold down a key on the keyboard so I don't have to? So, for example, if I want to boot up with a modifier key held down, I could tell my computer to restart, plop something down on the option key, say, and walk away and do something productive for a few minutes.

I'd imagine a little bit of lead (encased in some safe non-toxic material) with a bit of rubber on the bottom would do it. I'm not sure what search terms to use to try and find this, but I figured this is the right crowd to ask!
thanks

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
