Tim,

We are aware of the ongoing litigation between the Qwerty and Tyuiop families. The Polk family, whose name is spelled backwards on the top and middle key rows, has recently filed a lawsuit as well. The family claims that their ancestor, Richard Polk, worked with both Qwerty and Tyuiop on the layout but was booted out when the project neared completion. According to their complaints, it was then Qwerty who secured the patent himself and kept all the royalties from both Tyuiop and Polk.

Thank you, Ron for your comment. The Bible does not mention that before David cut off Goliath's head, the shepherd boy and three other Israelites rolled Goliath over so the cut could be made at the front of Goliath's throat - a religious requirement of the time. What you see in the picture is after Goliath was rolled over and David about to cut off Goliath's head.

It is quite possible, Skeptic. When a story is altered immediately after its occurrence, very few, if any, accounts exist that tell the tale as it truly happened. What you know of Wild Bill Hickok's death is the story that has been passed down through generations - very little of that story is true.

Matt,
The bedtime song is said to have been one of the most annoying. It's amazing though that for so many years, fans of the musical believe the family and their songs to be so adorable.

Wally,
We can't agree more. In the end her departure was a good thing because Batsva took the opportunity and was able to put his kids through college with the well-deserved money he earned. His two sons are now jewelers.

Rob,
As you know we at The History Bluff are a serious bunch, and we often read our reader comments in the library. Our librarian shushed those of us on the editorial staff because we could not stifle our raucous laughter at your comment. Well done. It's readers like you who keep things funny on this site as we only cut loose on our Top Ten Lists and Caption Contests.

Rob,
On the surface it does seem amazing that archaeologists could determine that these people were eating Ambrosia salad. However, when you think about it, so many things were preserved in Pompeii, not excluding food items such as the Ambrosia salad that some of the visitors could not finish. And of course, these guys were sent out by us - they're good. Really good.

Wally,
So true.

Rob,
She may very well have been horrified. Unfortunately she was not able to be reached for comment for this report.
