stylus for Kobo Touch

I'll be getting my Touch next week so until then these are just some thoughts I've had..

I'm more or less being dragged kicking and screaming into the touch generation that almost all displays are in these days, I don't like dirtying screens with my fingers and then having to clean them later. as well as I understand the infrared touch screen technology that is being used on the Kobo it sort of creates a barrier of light over the screen and when the barrier is disturbed it knows where on the x and y axis and responds accordingly, which is why they say you can used a gloved finger (although I've never heard anyone speak of what will happen when a fly lands on the screen :-p). So in the interest of keeping the screen clean and my fingers off it I was thinking of fashioning my own stylus solution, if the screen works the way I think it does then pretty much anything would work. but I was thinking something soft and non-oily like a q-tip would do the trick or maybe a pencil with the eraser end down would look less embarrassing. any good ideas?
