Imagine going to work one day only to forget how to do your job.

I have determined that I'm suffering from writer's block. I have a lot to say, but I just don't have the energy to struggle for the words that normally come easily. So, that's cool. I'll take a break from any real writing, and just surf the net and/or do nothing at all.

Do you know the longest word that can be spelt on the top row of a QWERTY keyboard?

It's 'typewriter'. The keyboard was designed with that particular quirk in mind. It might an urban myth, but I heard that the QWERTY layout was designed to actually slow down typing so that the hammers would not jam.

Also, a door to door salesman could quickly demo the machine by typing out "Typewriter" with one hand on the top row.

Or so I have been told!
