"If the Universe came to an end every time there was some uncertainty about what had happened in it, it would never have got beyond the first picosecond. And many of course don't. It's like a human body, you see. A few cuts and bruises here and there don't hurt it. Not even major surgery if it's done properly. Paradoxes are just the scar tissue. Time and space heal themselves up around them and people simply remember a version of events which makes as much sense as they require it to make.
"That isn't to say that if you get involved in a paradox a few things won't strike you as being very odd, but if you've got through life without that already happening to you, then I don't know which Universe you've been living in, but it isn't this one."
"Well, if that's the case," said Richard, "why were you so fierce about not doing anything to save the dodo?"
Reg sighed. "You don't understand at all. The dodo wouldn't have died if I hadn't worked so hard to save the coelacanth."
"The coelacanth? The prehistoric fish? But how could one possibly affect the other?"
"Ah. Now there you're asking. The complexities of cause and effect defy analysis. Not only is the continuum like a human body, it is also very like a piece of badly put up wallpaper. Push down a bubble somewhere, another one pops up somewhere else. There are no more dodos because of my interference. In the end I imposed the rule on myself because I simply couldn't bear it any more. The only thing that really gets hurt when you try and change time is yourself."

I have the correct number of digits on my hands and am not a hillbilly, but I do frequently type a "B" with the right hand. I'll also type it with the left hand. It depends on which hand is otherwise engaged with other letters, but predominantly I use the right.. It's equidistant from both home rows on many non-split keyboards. "Y" and "6/^" are two other keys that could be used with either hand. Certainly space is!
I've been looking for a good split keyboard that has redundant "B" keys and doesn't try to split the spacebar into space and backspace. I do so hate backspace-bars! I type the way I type and no keyboard layout is going to break me.
"It's coming! It's coming I tell ya! Backspace for your lives. Run, run, run! And when you're done running, run some more!"
A tesseradecad is an arrangement into groups of fourteen.
Symmetrical arrangements of texts and genealogies into tesseradecads were common Jewish customs. One example is the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the book of Luke and in the book of Matthew. Some names have been omitted in order to create tesseradecads in both genoalogies. Matthew genealogy
Your regex is broken. You only want single words that can contain those letters, not words that just happen to contain letters from the left side of the keyboard. You lucked out since you're using such long words, but that wouldn't work to find all words that can be typed on the left hand side of the keyboard. That's why everyone else is surrounding the regex with ^$ - they know what they're doing.
Read your grep manpage:
OPTIONS
-x, --line-regexp
Select only those matches that exactly match the whole line.</blockquote>
You don't need ^ and $ (and some shells won't let you use $ expecting a variable name to follow it, even if you escape it) when you use -x.
Instead of wasting money on growing eyes they should be figuring out how to make a pesticide-resistant frog that can survive the f&^#ing chemical soup we humans subject them to.
But pesticide-resistant frogs may end up quite incapable of eating mosquitoes. Just ask the Haggunenons.

Nah, the work's already been done for sequencing the Woolly Mammoth. We'll just breed our own Dwarf Mammoths by crossbreeding them with inebriated potbelly pigs.
