I was surfing through some miscellaneous files on my laptop, looking for some inspiration for something to blog about and I came across the list below buried amongst some old files .
I'm not sure where I got it so I am not going to take credit for creating it. According to the "properties" it looks like I added it to my files in 2007? I will assume the list came from someone very smart but without any more details on the document, I will credit it to that person who is credited for many of the best quotes and statements in history - the person known as "Anonymous."
How many of the following "keys" can you use this week to unlock a door?
