    Man I wish I was on my computer last night. I figured out lollipop after looking at my keyboard once I thought out the "blows" clue :) But Pack beat me to it.

    And I play Texas Hold 'Em on Facebook, not this scrabble crap :lol: Actually...I've never played scrabble before...*don't kill me*

    Want to know something that drives me insane?


    I have natural keyboards... aka ergonomic...

    My work one, the 6/^ is on the left and my home keyboard, it's on the right.

    OMG, that drives me nuts.

    tesseradecade is a group of 14 or tesseradecades reffers to groups of 14 the word comes from the number 10 being decade i.e "DEC" and then the 4 comes from the greek word for One of the small squares of stone or glass used in making mosaic patterns and being a squar it has 4 sides and hence is 4

    so put it all together 4+10=14 yay lol big of fun facts that chemistry has given us

    I have that keyboard too, Peredhil. I love it. The wrists sit more naturally. On mine, though, there's no difference in the layout of the keys to that of a traditional kybd. That's why they're both called QWERTY keyboards.

    Am I missing something? I wouldn't be surprised. :)

    Here's my Microsoft Wave kybd.

    Here's a traditional kbyd:

    Both of mine are QWERTY and both are like the MS Wave style (one is MS and I forget who makes the other, my work MS one has the 6 on the left side). But the keys split right... some are on left and some are on right. Still QWERTY though...

    It's just my two keyboards (work and home) put the 6 key on different sides of the split. It's insane. So the left one is
    `12345 and the right is 67890-= while on the other keyboard it is
    `123456 and the right is 7890-=


    Whether the 6 is on the left or the right... the QWERTY layout stays intact. (I'm pretty sure the standard is to have the 6 on the left, my home keyboard is a darn alien conspiracy to drive me insane)
