3TB Shorts 5:The Paradox of Flooding, QWERTY Mysteries and the Usborne Future
Update: 2023-11-02
Description
In this episode, we take you deep into the wondering world of the QWERTY keyboard, where:
- the longest top-row word is 'rupturewort', a type of plant
- Peru is the only country that can be typed on one row of a keyboard
- If you type letters using alternate hands, skepticism is the longest typed word you can type
And then we come to a scene out of Yes Minister, where three barrages on the Yamuna River are managed by three different states - Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. This can only be a backdrop for a Wodehousian novel, not flood management in the capital city.
Some more tickles and laughs in store for you in this edition of Shorts.
