Don't worry, Nothing will, you should:
1.Turn off your computer
2. Unplug your Keyboard
3. Leave it to Dry
Probably after drying, it will be awfully sticky, follow this:

If nothing works, then I'm afraid you'll have to say goodbye to your Keyboard, and you'll have to go get a new one, Sorry.

It would not be a big deal. However, it will be a very stick. The thing to do is wash it off and get rid of all the sticky stains. The worse thing that could happen is that it won't work. However, keyboards are relatively cheap and easy to get. I suggest that you simply wash it off and let try off with a wash cloth or a paper towel. No matter what, don't use any cleaning fluid. Simple water will do the job. Let it dry out over night. Plug it back in to see if it works. If the keys stick together, try using a wet cu tip to clean between or underneath the keys. If the keyboard isn't working, go to stables or office max to a new one.

i doubt it will blow, but unplug the keyboard from the back of the PC. it probably won't work anymore, though. if anything, the stickiness of the liquid will make the keys stick when pushed down. if you're short on cash, try to dry it out the best you can and see if it works in a few days. i got a new keyboard at Office Max for 15 bucks after i spilled coffee on mine and now i don't allow drinks near my PC. good luck!

Flip the keyboard upsaide down and leave it to dry. It should be fine as long as it's not used...
if you spilled it on the computer itself. Turn that computer off!
Computers seldom blow up, so you shouldn't have to worry. If it's the keyboard there shouldn't be any highly compressed material in it.

Oh yeah save that baby for the 4th of July. Seriously though, As a tech at a major company I must say it happens ALL THE TIME. Let it dry out, If you completely submerged it toss it in the trash they run $9.99 and up.

No. Keyboards are not explosive. At worst, you might have to replace the keyboard. They're cheap.

I doubt it'll blow up, but it'll most likey mess up your keyboard. You'll probably need to buy a new one.
