Yes... Sharks are not mammals and therefore do not regulate their temperature through evaporation. Aquatic mammals such as whales and dolphins also do not sweat as they do not need to.

'lollipop' is the longest word that you type using only the left hand in the english language on a 'qwerty' keyboard.

Lollipop is typed with the right hand, anyway!
Don't worry, Aye Bee. Sometimes I say 'left' when I mean right, and vice versa.

Which is the word that's all letters on the top line? I know there's a pretty long one but can never remember what it is.

Cheerful Dragon Posted Nov 20, 2008
There's "proprietor", I think. That's 10 letters, all on the top line, but not just with one hand.
