Alright, when I smoke weed I think of random shit(like everyone else lol)
I was looking at my keyboard and i started thinking
how did they decide the configuration of the letter keys?
are they in some sort of special order?
I've been staring at my keyboard for a while trying to "decode" it or find a pattern and i cant.
Any thoughts?
i asked the same question to my computer teacher and all she said was "there is a million words at your fingertips", and i was like no shit, its a keyboard.
I have often wondered the same thing. Something about the natural positioning of your fingers?
Hempsmoker- that was pretty cryptic, dude.
damn homie you need to get out more
my random thoughts are much stranger
like does anyone smell there toilet paper after they wipe
Lol!, reminds me of a magic 8-ball.Quote:

It's called a QWERTY keyboard, after the first letters in the top line, but there are other types available out there.
