Becuase this is Callaway's thread. :P
She knows some interesting stuff and could probably provide a lot more detail than I could.

Its here because she doesn't really answer personal questions, but is a great source of knowledge about stuff in general.

Sadly, I not only know of the non-qwerty, but I think I may know which letters are on it off the top of my head.  I know I know most of them.  Why is this sad?  I've never even SEEN a non-qwerty.  I know geek stuff because I hang out too much on forums for people with the geek syndrome.  :laugh:

(DVORAK?  I think maybe the a is wrong)
I am doing a maths program and I am stuck at this point in it. I think it wants me to make numbers up to put in the equations. But I don't like choosing. Do people just stick with one number all the time or do they pick randomly.

I don't know how to make numbers up to put in the equations.  If there are any denominators, then you can't choose a number that makes the denominator zero, or the fraction will be undefined.  Other than that, I would stick to small whole numbers, if these will make the math easier to work with.

If you want to post the questions, I could help you think of numbers, if you like.

One time, when my husband was a math professor, in one class he had problems with cheating.  Certain people were copying from their neighbors' papers.

He made up a final exam which had nine questions, each one of which had a box to insert a one digit whole number.  He instructed his students to fill in the boxes with the digits of their nine digit Social Security numbers, which were also their student ID numbers.  Several students, principally the cheaters, were quite upset by this and asked what would happen if they did not comply.  He answered that they would receive no credit for their final exam, because he had no place to put their names on the exam and would be using only their student ID numbers to identify them. 

Nobody had the opportunity to cheat, because they all had different questions.

brilliant.  I wish I could plus your husband for that.  I plussed you; next best thing.  :laugh: 

callaway, why aren't people ticklish when they touch themselves the same way that others touch them and they are ticklish.

it's to do with muscular tension - if you relax your muscles completely when someone tickles you, it doesn't tickle.

But if you tense up you still can't do it to youself, so there has to be slightly more to it than that.

I'm more curious as to what evolutionary purpose it could possibly serve.  It should be present/have evolved for some kind of reason, but it seems completely useless, from an evolutionary standpoint.
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

with regard to the QWERTY keyboard...

i'd be going for keyboards which predate typewriters, myself, in which case, you can choose from pianos, organs, virginals, harpsichords, accordians...
