There is no such thing as a psychic. Telekinesis has never been reliably demonstrated (i.e., it's hooey in my opinion), and mind-reading is an illusion; human beings just have a remarkable ability to...

Just as did kdoiron, I heard that the QWERTY setup was billed as a preventer of jammed keys. This did in effect happen because it took typists a while to adjust from the old ABC configuration. By the...
