My great great great great great great grandtoad, Henrick T. Toadinton, learned to type on a writing ball, which was invented in Holland during the 1860s. This was the same time that the British Empire was fighting a war against Chinese Monkeys over flowers and leaves! History is a crazy thing sometimes.
The picture you see up there is the writing ball Henrick T. Toadington invented. That’s how I manage to type letters to you, and the rest of the world.
