Why the Y Key Gets Abused

Ryan and I continued our scientific exploration this evening when he noticed that the Y key on his 12” Powerbook looked more “used” than the other keys. The paint wasn’t fading or anything, because it’s a Powerbook and they are indestructible, but it lacked a certain shine that the other keys had. Or maybe it was shiny and the others weren’t. I don’t remember.

Ryan thought that the cause could be that his finger drags more on the Y key than the others. This is because he uses the Powerbook in his bed, laying on his back with the Powerbook on his stomach. So because of the strange angle and the fact that the Y key is farther away than say, the T key, a dragging action takes place as you pull your finger back from pressing the key.

I verified this by finally copying his position after a few minutes of describing how he was laying. But I couldn’t even see the screen because my hands were in the way, at which point I realized he probably just doesn’t know how to use his Powerbook right, and that all of our experiments and usage of the scientific method was for nothing. Thanks a lot asshole. We could have used those 45 minutes to solve some other important scientific issue like how they make springs springy, but other types of metal “not springy”.

dude don’t worry I figured it out, the y key is more worn cause I’m always typing the word “why” when talking to you…this is because you say and do the dumbest shit, and I’m always asking you why. that wasn’t near as funny as is was in my head, typed out. dammit.

Yeah… but you used ‘y’ 13 times!!!
