I remember Legionnaires still arguing about missions being too dangerous for girls!

That turned out to be a programming glitch in the Legionnaire robots Supergirl was creating, so she could perfect a Brainiac 5 model.

She certainly didn't notice any differences between robotic Brainy and real Brainy...

Technically there is no real Brainy as they are all fictional characters

If they were fictional, why would the newsheets of their adventures appear through timewarps to us, with the occasional five year gap?

I'm sure it's a Timewarp that brings them. I don't think a medium is needed to narrate them.
Checks cupboard of Legion comics... discovers a medium sitting reading timewarped comics... closes door...confussled?.

Madame Zika is the happy medium. She has a shop on Shooter Street

I did use the convention of naming the street after a creator.

In France, the keyboards are slightly different. Among other things, the Q and A are transposed. I remember being in an internet cafe and typing an email to a friend about what a great time I was having in Pqris.

I had to work with the French keyboard for a couple of months. The S is also different from its English-keyboard position. S and A are both very common in English and in French, so you can imagine my difficulties.

I learned touch typing in high school. By mostly type with my index and middle fingers.

I still do hunt and peck. Though I've gotten quite fast at it.

I learned touch typing in high school as well. Everyone in the class was amazed at how fast I was at it, but the reason was that I'd been hunting and pecking for years, and instinctively already knew where the letters were.

Yes. Knowing where the letters are is key.

I have a skeleton key on my keyring that I have had since 1992. It doesn't open anything.

Skeleton key always made me think. Why skeleton? I've seen at least one cartoon that made fun of it, by having a skeleton use its finger as a key.
Apparently, skeleton key comes from the fact that the key has been serrated to its "'essential parts" to make it fit pretty much any lock.

This one used to open the bedroom door of the big house I shared with six others in Boston in the early '90s. The house was built around 1897. The lock finally gave out and was replaced when I lived there. I kept the old key.

Wow! Very cool, Rocky! A 223-year-old skeleton key!
Still "Fickles" to my friends.

I don't know that it was necessarily original to the house. I do miss that about Boston. In Houston, there are very few buildings that date back before World War II.
