While I was investigating the new home of the isotopes, I jumped into a a news story that had a some unusual headlines. In particular, the title of the web page is "asdfsadfasd sadf", and the headline is the same, with a subhead of "asd fasdf asd fdsa f".
I suspect that these were placeholder characters left over while someone was setting up the page. However, I don't think it should have ever made it to "print".
So then, on a whim, I start searching, and find that google has 9920 hits for "asdfasdf". Simply amazing. Or sad. Or something.
One of them is a stealth asdfasdf. Note nothing unusual about the page, but check out the titlebar on your window. Sweet.
And check out the Dave Letterman Top-Ten!

Interestingly, google shows also a few results for the
french keyboard layout. What's the equivalent with a dvorak keyboard ?

That would be 'aoeu'. It'd be nice to use a Dvorak keyboard, but it would mean rebinding all my applications.

NTK

Searching for these types of things is a regular thing for
NTK. Also check out typos like
Accuntant,
Commtitee and various other puerile typos like t-shits, eductation, overcocking, public lice, etc.
Also try "Enter content here".

Dummy text

Don't forget to search for
"dummy text" while you're at it.
I still have a copy somewhere of a page from the (printed) Washington Post Weekend section that had a movie review whose headline and body consisted mostly of the sentence "This is dummy text for the review" repeated over and over, with bits of a review of another movie in between.
Quick Brown Fox

We can't forget the classic
"the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" :) A shade over 7000 hits for that one.
Well ...

I suspect that these were placeholder characters left over while someone was setting up the page. However, I don't think it should have ever made it to "print". It's a hell of a lot better than
"Roasted Nuts".
