What Amazes Me It amazes me when ever some crazy bastard goes on ashooting rampage killing innocent co-workers, students, or people who justhappen to be around at the wrong time. Every time this sort of thing happens,we look for the government legislators to invent some cock-ah-mime law to protect us. People turn to gun control as a way of solving the problem and they've been known even willing to give up some freedom in the process. We find our politicians to wasting their time and money making stupid laws to protect us from our own stupidity. I got this information from a book Don Voorhees wrote called, The Book of Totally Useless Information. Whether the book's information is useless or not, I found the material interesting. It is published by MJF Books of New York, ISBN 1-56731-266-7. What amazed me is that the same diabolically difficult pattern is still used today even though we have electronics that can be used as a buffer between the keyboard and the mechanicals. We are stuck with a pattern which the left hand does 57 percent of the typing and the right only43 percent. The three weakest and lest coordinated fingers, the two pinkies and left hand ring finger do more than their fair share of the typing and to type most common words, they have to type them by having to move from one row to another. It amazes me that we are stuck with such a keyboard pattern even though a man named August Dvorak designed a keyboard pattern in 1936 which has a more usable pattern where 70 percent of the typing is done on one row, also known as home row. 57 Percent of the typing is done with the right hand and the stronger fingers do most of the work. Studies have shown that the overall finger movements involved with Dvorak's pattern would be reduced by at least ten times. Apparently the US military was going to purchase a large order of typewriters with the Dvorak pattern, but because of the need for more war machinery, the order was canceled and it has been said that the better pattern never took off because of it. Just goes to show what the US Government is doing with my inventions. As for you carpel tunnel suffers and people with bad backs, it goes to show us that the US government doesn't give a dam about the heath and well being if its citizens. If the government did care about its citizens, they wouldn't be taking in over $65,000.00
of tax revenue per acre of tobacco. The government likes the idea that the tobacco may kill its citizens off before they reach the age of 65 because dead people don't receive Social Security benefits. It amazed me when I opened a Popular Science magazine and saw that it covered a moon landing which never happened. Gee, if that wasn't about the most disgraceful attempt to put one over on the Russians; I don't know what it was. The Russians knew it wasn't possible in the first place because they knew that a human being can't survive the radiation in the outer orbit of the earth. The whole capsule would have to be made out of lead and that still wouldn't be enough. The only population the US government was fooling was their own tax payers. Now we've got a magazine that calls itself Popular Science still trying to put one over on its readers. I sure as hell wouldn't renew my subscription after that issue. I saw a thing on TV about how anyone with any common sense could tell they botched up the sham. Any Hollywood film maker withany talent can pick apart the production part of it all. What's evenmore amazing is that there is a company that sells land on the moon. Not onlyrich celebrities have got into buying land on the moon, but the Marriott Hotelresort chain corporation bought several thousand archers. I think someone should inform the buyer that the surface of the moon gets up to 250 degrees in the sunlight and 250 degrees below zero in the dark. Now the day you think you have a space suite that will permit you to walk around on the moon, will be the day you're able to survive the radiation you received on the way to your vacation.
