Ever have one of those 'Duh!' moments?

I consider myself to be somewhat near the top on the "normal intelligence" scale....no Einstein, you understand, but well educated & knowledgeable in many, many areas.  That's why, sometimes, I am taken aback...and other times, just downright stunned....when a revelation comes from out of the blue & hits me upside the head!!   It's when I feel my most 'blonde-est'.   The shock of these occurrences keeps me puzzled and pondering, for hours after the initial 'slap in the face'!

Today's enlightenment was finally understanding the reference to a QWERTY keyboard!!!  Ever since I first heard of this type of keyboard, I've thought, "Hmmm...what a strange name!  Wonder what it means?"  I  told myself it was just another one of those "new-age" phrases like "blog"...or "emo".   QWERTY is not a "name"....it is not a new acronym.....it's not a new anything !! 

IT IS THE TOP 6 LETTERS, OF A STANDARD KEYBOARD...FIVE OF WHICH ARE TYPED WITH THE LEFT HAND, AND ONE IS TYPED WITH THE INDEX FINGER OF THE RIGHT HAND!!!

DUH!!!   (sometimes I feel like such an idiot!!)
