Moki Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I've just read that the lighter was invented before the match. Damn, that's weird. Also, the "classic" that Cleopatra lived closer in time to the Moon landing than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza is pretty awesome. You guys?

ryno Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 [quote name='ezxen' timestamp='1318875177' post='528038'] you can spell "typewriter" with the the top letters of your "qwerty" keyboard [/quote] I like the reason they did this. When salespeople first started demoing them, no one had typing skills. Putting all the letters to the machine in one row made it look effortless to type, making it easier to sell.

(Which is fricking impressive, I have an old manual Smith Corona and I'm lucky to get 2 wpm on that thing without bruising my fingers). Then when the computer came around, guys didn't want to use it because "typing" was "women's work" and they had to stress that it wasn't typing but "keyboarding" to get the men to accept it.
