Oddities

Things you realize when you're bored watching a Hawks playoff game.

If you go straight across the middle of the normal QWERTY keyboard you get: Asdfghjkl. If you delete just a couple of letters and move up on one key stroke and down on another (that is go up from f to r, from g to b, from h to u, and then delete the k, you get Asdrbul. swtich the b and the u and get Asdrubl. Add in a single letter, and you get Asdrubal.

I wonder if that's where Asdrubal Cabrera's mother got his name ...


(And, yes, I realize this probably hurts my chances of ever having a child named Asdrubal)


(And, yes, I really am that bored by the Celtics and Hawks)

Memo to Rachel

While I'm giving out memos, I have one for my wife, too.

I just listened to them run down the opening day line-up for the Indians. I'm excited.

And I still want to name a child Asdrubal.

I'm willing to pull "Utinni" off the table if you accept Asdrubal as a name for our third child, assuming we ever get there. That's right, Utinni completely off the table.

What do you say?
