Following the suggestion of a cow-orker, I have levered the I and O keys off my keyboard and replaced them in the wrong order; also the V and B keys.

The result is quite interesting: When I'm looking away from the keyboard, of course, I can type fine; but when I look at the keys to type (as distinct from touch typing whilst looking at the keys), no matter how well I know where the keys should live, I keep either typing the wrong ones, or at best stopping myself halfway to correcting myself.

Chanukah candles

Chanukah candles have to burn half an hour into, or at any rate during, the night. This means on Friday night, when you light them an hour before nacht, the little candles you buy in boxed sets aren't long enough; you need bigger candles.

This is the case every year... so how come you never see candles on sale for this purpose, larger than normal Chanukah candles, but smaller than Shabbos candles, and shaped to fit in standard-sized candle holes in one's menorah?
